Join Auckland network convenor Kate Wiseman at our next Auckland network breakfast, where Paul McKendrick and Rachel Keane will talk about arbitration and mediation from counsel’s perspective.
Rachel will reflect on the arbitration process and making it work for the parties; Paul will give one practitioner’s views as a participant in the mediation process, together with likes and dislikes about mediators.
As always there will be time for discussion with speakers and colleagues. Come along to get – or give – feedback on the good and not-so-great in mediation and arbitration processes.
All members are welcome, and welcome to bring guests.
Regular attendees will see the cost of breakfast has increased. The Northern Club has recently increased their prices so with regret we must do the same.
Dresscode: Business attire, no ties required.
Time: 7.30am – 9am
