“Effective mediation, guided by experienced professionals, saves time and money and helps preserve business relationships. I have seen matters resolved in mediation in which the opening offers and demands were separated by as much as $75 million. I frequently recommend mediation as advisable prior to incurring the costs of discovery and motion practice that accompany formal proceedings.”
Mediators, like any other craftsmen, must rely on an array of quality tools to maintain their skills and produce a professional, durable result. Such tools include continuing education as well as resources such as a mediator code of ethics, suggested protocols/guidelines, sample mediation clauses and other pertinent forms. This section includes our “mediator toolbox.”
