In this episode of The Power of Mediation by The Property Mediators, Iain Travers is joined by Laura Tweedy to discuss the Role of the Mediator. The discussion considers issues such as how a mediator manages the dialogue between the parties, escaping the litigation mindset, maintaining impartiality and confidentiality, helping the parties evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of their cases through Reality Testing, and how to absorb the emotion of the day.
