Australian Disputes Centre Prize
Presented by Deborah Lockhart, CEO on behalf of the Australian Disputes Centre.
In law and in business, mediation skills are not only for mediators. Whether you are representing clients in mediation or a direct settlement conference, meeting clients one-on-one, closing an M&A deal, or simply negotiating your way through daily life at work and home; intensive mediation training is an invaluable professional skills development opportunity for all law and business students.
The Australian Disputes Centre awards each member of the winning team a voucher to complete ADC’s Accelerated Online Mediation Training & Accreditation Programme, valued at over AUD$16,000.
