Mariana Soares David lectures on commercial mediation

On the next 18th and 19th of May, Nova School of Law organizes a short course on commercial mediation.

This course, especially focused on the role of the lawyer in the mediation process and on the advantages of this service for our clients, is intended for any lawyer who wishes to know more about this growing alternative dispute resolution method in Portugal.

After an introduction on what is commercial mediation, its legal framework and its advantages over other means of alternative dispute resolution, the course will focus on the different phases of the mediation process and on the lawyer's performance in each of them. With a strong practical component, the objective of the course is to prepare lawyers to know how to act in a mediation process whenever they are asked to do so, as well as to know how and in which cases to suggest to their clients the use of mediation.

This event, co-sponsored by Morais Leitão, counts with the participation of our lawyer and certified mediator Mariana Soares David as co-coordinator and trainer.

The first part of the event, which culminates with a networking cocktail, will take place in Morais Leitão's facilities in Lisbon on May 18, from 2 pm to 7:30 pm.
