Ms Majella Foley-Friel BCL, BL, MA recently presented a paper on the use of mediation in high conflict cases as part of the CPD Philanthropies event held on November 1 in the A&L Goodbody Appellate Moot Court. Ms Foley-Friel was called to the Bar but has been practicing as a Mediator in family, workplace and commercial mediation for over 20 years. During that time she has developed a number of techniques in bringing parties together to form an enduring agreement, whilst at the same time working to ensure that the parties can continue to work together in the future. With an attendance of over 50 local practitioners, the presentation was very well received and forms part of the ICEL research group’s expertise.
