In this morning session, a leading international mediator will conduct a "simulated mediation" of typical construction disputes between a contractor and owner in Latin America with participation by lawyers, experts, a contractor and an owner, together with a narrator who will provide in depth understanding of the mediation process and its nuances as they develop during the simulated mediation.
