Isabella Wijnberg writes Toolkit Mediation Advocacy

3 July 2025

Isabella Wijnberg and Manon Schonewille have written a book entitled Toolkit Mediation Advocacy – What every lawyer needs to know about mediation to be successful. The book is not only a valuable addition to the literature on mediation, but also offers practical guidance for legal professionals on how to make the most of this dispute resolution tool. Isabella and Manon provide practical strategies and proven techniques to get the best out of every mediation.

About the book

Mediation is a powerful and effective tool for dispute resolution that is gaining increasing recognition in the legal world. It offers a structured and confidential process in which an independent third party, the mediator, helps all parties involved and their advisors to reach a joint solution.

The Mediation Advocacy Toolkit provides a comprehensive and practical guide for legal professionals on how to make the best use of mediation and when it is better to use other tools. The book covers all aspects of mediation: from the preparation and selection of a mediator to the role of the mediation advocate in the various stages of the process and the techniques that can be used to achieve a successful outcome.

Book presentation

The first copy was presented during our Business Mediation Event to Chantal Vergouw, Chief Business Markets and Member of the Executive Board at KPN. This was followed by a mini-seminar in which Isabella and Manon interactively discussed some high-profile mediation mistakes and offered concrete tools to prevent them.
