Training & Professional Development

Our training programs are designed for legal practitioners, aspiring mediators, and sectoral leaders who seek to make a meaningful impact across traditional and emerging domains
Become a Mediation Lawyer / Advocate
The legal landscape has changed—adapt or be left behind. Litigation is no longer the default. Across South Africa and globally, mediation is becoming mandatory, not optional. Courts, clients, and institutions now demand resolution processes that are efficient, ethical, and transformation-aligned. Legal practitioners must evolve—not only to remain relevant, but to lead. This pathway is tailored for attorneys, advocates, and legal graduates who wish to integrate mediation into their professional practice. Participants gain deep insight into the legal foundations of mediation, ethical representation, and strategic advisory in complex disputes.
• Why this matters
The shift from adversarial litigation to cooperative mediation is not a trend—it’s a structural transformation. Legal professionals who fail to adapt risk professional obsolescence.
• Who should apply
Legal practitioners ready to integrate mediation into their practice and lead in the new legal era.
• What you'll gain
Certification of specialization in mediation law, eligibility for panel inclusion, and strategic advisory capacity.
• Format
Integrated legal modules within our Mediation and ADR Training programs, with mentorship and practical exposure. Mediation is no longer an alternative—it is the future of legal practice. Position yourself at the forefront of this transformation.
