The OULS recently had the opportunity to work with barrister and CEDR accredited mediator Suzanne Rab from Serle Court Chambers to help in the making of a short film on mediation. The film was written and produced by Suzanne Rab and was shot on location at Serle Court. It stars OULS members Abigail Scott and Peter Savory who played the lawyers for each of the two parties and was directed and edited by Gwyn Hopkins.

The purpose of the film is to promote mediation as a form of Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) and it is being shown to legal practitioners and their clients to compliment a series of presentations on the subject.

The Rules offer an opportunity to attorneys to represent their clients during the voluntary mediation process. LEAD offers a 5-day workshop (tamara@LSSALEAD.org.za) to train attorneys as mediators.This video gives a short summary of the Rules

Access to courts to resolve disputes and get justice is a right granted to all South Africans. But to many, exercising that constitutional right remains a pipe dream. However, the introduction to Court Annexed Mediation to resolve disputes in our court system, is set to bring the poor closer to obtaining justice. What will this move entail?

WHEN CLIENTS WORK WITH ME THEY SEE:
?Early case assessments, within 60 days, so that they can see the strengths and weaknesses of their case EARLY!
?Vetted exit strategies within 60 days, that allow them to decide EARLY what the best course of action is for their particular case!
?A deliberate approach to what we spend in litigation because we don’t do everything; we do what generates the most ROI for that particular exit strategy. (Ex. If you want an early mediation, we may not even need to take Plaintiff’s deposition).
?If desired, a legal budget (a real one) within 30 days so that you can see what you are about to spend.
?Internal M&A SOPs that mirror our litigation philosophy, i.e. automated 30 and 60 day reminders upon file opening, weekly reports on reporting deadlines, daily and weekly diary reminders on reporting, exit strategies and discovery deadlines.

ABOUT ME
My name is Patricia Baxter. I am a managing partner helping companies keep their litigation costs under control & close files!

With aviation I represent airlines and aviation vendors, including skycaps, wheelchair handlers, plane cleaners, baggage handlers, Jetway operators, tarmac mechanics and more. With premises liability I represent large commercial landowners and facility management companies with high self-insured retentions.
