Reviews

...a unique approach to a diversity of national mediation cultures is achieved under one single roof...Richbell and his 86 contributors have aimed high and taken on a considerable challenge, and they have handled it with grace and insightfulness. This work thus provides mediators, counsel and arbitrators alike with a useful and important new guide which can and should be taken up with enthusiasm at the beginning of ones next dispute resolution exercise. -- Richard Kreindler * Dispute Resolution International Vol 10 No 2, October 2016 *
...a truly excellent new book...Put simply it is a masterpiece. -- John Sturrock, Core Solutions Group * Mediation Mastery *
I am pleased to recommend How to Master Commercial Mediation by David Richbell...While much of the book is written by David himself (unquestionably one of Englands most highly-regarded mediators), there are significant contributions from many of the UKs most distinguished mediators...I respectfully suggest that masterpiece is an inadequate description of this truly extraordinary book. -- Hew Dundas
