International Commercial Mediation
In this comprehensive comparative study, Ronán Feehily analyses the legal and regulatory issues surrounding international commercial mediation and discusses their implications in a range of settings. While existing literature tends to cover mediation in general, Feehily places the commercial mediation process in its legal and regulatory context, offering an original contribution to the field. The book identifies the controversies that arise from the mediation process across numerous jurisdictions and discusses them in detail. Comparing the mediation process in Europe, North America and Australia, as well as other common, civil and 'mixed' jurisdictions, Feehily demonstrates where systemic differences are transcended and where they are significant. Organised systematically and written in an accessible style, Feehily offers an international, holistic guide to the commercial mediation process.

‘International mediation has immense potential. This book provides the legal tools to make it a reality.' Felix Steffek, Associate Professor, University of Cambridge
‘Just as the field of international arbitration now has many treatises (of theory and practice), mediation now has a comprehensive text to be consulted with respect to issues of practice, policy, ethics and theory … This book raises the issues we will watch and study in the decades to come … I have learned a lot in reading this book and so will you.’ Carrie Menkel-Meadow, Professor, University of California, Emeritus Professor, Georgetown University
