She is joined by guests: - Amrik Kandola (CEDR Mediator) - Angela Fletcher (Chief Commercial Officer, Ancala Midstream Acquisitions) Our speakers look at how an independent, third-party mediator can help companies resolve complex commercial problems. The episode addresses when and why mediation can be used, how quick and cost-effective it can be, and what really goes on during the mediation process. Our speakers reflect on their experience of disputes throughout their careers, and consider what barriers prevent companies from using mediation more often. ---------------------------- In June 2020 the OGA launched a pilot mediation scheme in conjunction with the Centre for Effective Dispute Resolution - CEDR.
