Loss Cyle | 7 February 2012

Nicholas von Benzon from Cheltenham Mediation Mediation Services spoke to us on the Loss Cycle and how this may identify the best time to negotiate or indeed start the collaborative process. It was considered and discussed how the the various stages in the Cycle hampered or was receptive to the process of negotiation. A number of anonymous senarios were discussed and how the dynamics and stages of the clients journey impacted on the client and solicitors ability to progress matters to conclusion. Nicholas said that clients would dip in and out of the cycle not necessarily re-entering where they lef off. This was clear from the examples given. It was agreed that the assistance of coaches would be invaluable at this time.

Thanks was given to his presentation and for the sitmulating discussion it produced
