Abstract

Anna Howard‘s book, EU Cross-Border Commercial Mediation: Listening to Disputants – Changing the Frame; Framing the Changes, provides valuable insights about business disputing. Her study is based on 21 semi-structured interviews of senior in-house counsel in multi-national companies operating in Europe. It shows that lawyers think about disputes from the outset of problems, not simply at the later stages of cases. The study pays particular attention to why businesses don’t use mediation, highlighting the impact of internal organizational dynamics.
