Become an Investor-State Mediator

Once the UNCITRAL Mediation Convention comes into force, parties to investor-state agreements will have the opportunity to have any disputes arising from such transactions resolved in an international mediation and be confident that the agreement will be recognised in countries that have ratified the convention.

This means that parties to investor-state disputes will have another even more effective method by which to resolve their disputes. For instance, notwithstanding earlier scepticism of using mediation to settle foreign investment disputes by critics, with the advent of the international mediation convention, foreign investment disputes are one category of disputes which will benefit from this regime of dispute resolution. With access to such a mechanism, countries, especially cash-strapped developing countries, can include mediation clauses into their international investment agreements and have such disputes resolved in a more cost-effective manner than is currently the norm.

At Phoenix, our expertise in foreign investment law and mediation enables us to provide a comprehensive investor-state mediation course that will allow you to take advantage of the current shift in international Dispute Resolution.

Testimonials

Proven Results, Trusted Professionals

"I had the pleasure of receiving my mediator's certification through Phoenix Dispute Solutions. The materials and lessons were helpful and well prepared, but not overly tedious. The instructors were knowledgeable and shared their experiences readily. I am very glad I chose PDS and feel I am now very well prepared for practice."

Leah Capece Attorney

“Last year, I needed to get mediation training. I did some research and came across Phoenix Dispute Solutions. I had some reservations about whether mediation training could be done via Zoom. I had no idea what I was getting myself into but I kept an open mind… I was very pleasantly surprised! All of the speakers were excellent. They were incredibly knowledgeable. They really wanted to share their craft. They truly cared about all of us. Their critiques were thoughtful and very helpful. I cannot think of a better training - and I have been to a lot of them! I strongly recommend PDS!”

Michael Burton (Retired Judge)

“I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, despite the fact that the time difference meant I worked from 12:00am to 8:00am. The program was well put together, and I also enjoyed the interactions with the fellow cohorts. One thing if I may suggest, it would have been enormously helpful to see yourself and the instructor do an example mediation.”

Frances Sinha

“Phoenix were incredibly helpful and easy to work with – nothing was too much trouble for them. I found the 5 weekly sessions easier to accommodate within my practice than taking a whole week out. The course materials were of a high-quality, and the trainer was very knowledgeable, patient and clear in her presentation. I would recommend them to anyone thinking of training as a mediator.”

Dana Glass Human Resources

“PDSL was the perfect certification process. It provided an online option that was flexible and very professional. All of the facilitators are knowledgeable and thorough instructors. I would recommend PDSL for those veterans in the field of mediation to brush up on their skills and for those who are just beginning. PDSL also offered a monthly payment option which was very helpful.”
