This panel workshop is tailored for charities navigating mediation while advocating for their gifts and managing reputational risk. The discussion will focus on how charities can engage meaningfully in mediation without losing sight of their values, public profile, and stakeholder expectations. Panellists will explore timing, preparation, briefing mediators, opening positions, and overcoming entrenched negotiations, alongside the human challenges faced by claimants. The session will also examine face‑to‑face versus Zoom mediations, particularly in sensitive, multi‑party or high‑profile disputes.
