On-Demand Premiere of Alternative Dispute Resolution / Conducting the Mediation
In this session we will review the mediation process itself. We will discuss the pros and cons of starting in joint session and/or caucus, including opening remarks by counsel and/or parties. We will discuss when to consider asking for a private caucus, or even an attorneys-only session. Understanding how to best arm/assist the mediator to facilitate the process. Ensuring your client is prepared for the session both from understanding the process to having the right information or people available to answer questions or guide the same. Why creativity can be a key element of the process. Tips on working through impasse. Recognizing the benefits of mediation even if you don’t resolve the matter at that time and positioning the matter for settlement in the future.
