The Nigerian Tribune recently reported on the recent annual Mediation Conference, organised by Messrs Oakwell Partners in Lagos, Nigeria. The event had as its theme “Mediation: A Core Business Process and Catalyst for Growth” and attracted both international and local legal professionals including a renowned international Commercial Mediator, Amanda Bucklow, from the United Kingdom (UK), who has over two decades of mediating complex cross border commercial transactions in the private and public sectors.
In her lecture, Amanda Bucklow, also admonished the audience to recognise that conflict is an integral part of life “therefore, it is how conflicts are managed that is important.”
According to Bucklow, mediation is usually referred to as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism. “But using of the word ‘alternative’ was wrong. It is suggestive that the mechanism is inferior and or less effective in comparison to litigation which is seen as the core process to resolving conflict; this perception thus sometimes affects its acceptability,” she explained.
The international commercial mediator explained further that mediation skill could be used to negotiate and assess every area of the business process, citing examples of mediation skills she had used to promote the negotiation and execution of complex projects from commencement to completion in 12 weeks.
According to her, the proper use of mediation skill could accelerate and help business communities attain their respective business goals in a cost-effective way and with speed.
