During your 6 months working on the Vis Problem, have you ever asked yourself why the Parties started with a mediation? Why it did not work out? Whether the Parties could have increased the chances for a successful mediation by preparing it differently? And whether a second mediation window in the arbitral proceedings makes sense?
The DIS offers you the unique opportunity to explore these questions in a two-day work-shop. In short: The perfect round up for your Vis experience.
