Postgraduate Programme in Negotiation, Mediation and Conflict Resolution

“The ability to negotiate and mediate effectively lies at the heart of a modern and efficient legal practice. In an interconnected, versatile, complex, uncertain and ambiguous world, the answer to the question “What does my client need?” is the guiding principle for the future of legal services.”

Postgraduate Programme in Negotiation, Mediation and Dispute Resolution

“The Postgraduate Programme in Negotiation, Mediation and Dispute Resolution has been extremely valuable in my work as a Conciliator and Mediator at the Court of Justice of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. It has also been highly relevant to my work as a legal assistant at the Associação Cultural e Apoio ao Imigrante Margens e Motivos in Vila Nova de Santo André, Portugal, and even in addressing my own personal and professional conflicts. I feel that the programme has equipped me with additional tools to foster a more constructive and emancipatory dialogue.”
