An insightful discussion of mediation in China was led by Milan’s Stefano Pavletic, who was joined via video by CCPIT Deputy Secretary General WANG Fang and, in-person, by Madrid mediator and arbitrator Marta Lazaro and Milan mediator Antonietta Marsaglia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jeff Abrams<\/a> of Houston, Texas, can be relied upon to liven these affairs with his unique energy, flair and commitment. He moderated a panel of mediation experts that comprised Catherine LeClercq<\/a> of Paris, Thiruvengadam BC of Bangalore, and Kim Kirn<\/a> of St. Louis, Missouri. A particularly interesting discussion of “The Impact of Culture on Mediation” was moderated and organized by Susanne Schuler of London’s CEDR<\/a>. Among her speakers were James South of CEDR, Sven Stuermann<\/a> of Alicante, Spain, and Mona Hanna<\/a> of Beirut, Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I always look for opportunities to learn from corporate end-users about what they seek in mediation and in mediator performance, and this Forum offered a particularly insightful panel. Sophie Romaniello of Brussels moderated a discussion with three experienced lawyers: Celine Haye-Kiousis, Group General Counsel of BPCE Group<\/a> in Paris; Marie-Aude Ziade, former GC of Dispute Resolution for ORANO Group<\/a> in Paris; and Denis Musson, former GC of IMERYS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is bit a superficial indication of the genuinely engaging two days in Malaga. The next Forum is scheduled for Frankfurt, Germany, on 30 June and 1 July, 2023. I encourage all to join the UIA<\/a> and plan to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
