Solicitors Role Play | 6 July 2010

Our business on this occasion was the solicitors update. The solicitors decided to demonstrate a pre meeting between solicitors followed by a first fourway meeting. The coaches and independent neutrals were interested to see how this was achieved as well as to view the dynamics of such meetings, so this was the purpose to be achieved.

Although relatively short it showed the solicitors working together as well as some of the techniques to move matters on, yet giving the clients their say.

As in all these fourways no one knew precisely what the other would throw into the discussions so with this happening on a few occasions led to a lively fourway.

After the fourway there was feedback and observations of the process and participants, and general healthy collaborative talk.

Thanks to Carolyn Green, Barbara White, James Grigg and John Sherahilo for their participation in the roleplay.
