Description: Back by popular demand after several years, this dynamic and practical class is designed to help you become more effective advocates in mediation — a skill that is increasingly essential in today’s legal landscape.
As the use of mediation continues to grow across practice areas, many attorneys find themselves navigating these processes without the benefit of formal training. This class, led by an experienced mediator and former litigator with thirty-eight years of practice, offers a unique, inside perspective on the full arc of the mediation process — from preparation to post-session follow-up.
You will receive expert guidance and actionable strategies for every stage of mediation, with a focus on how to best serve their clients' interests. Key topics our esteemed presenter covers include the following:
- Choosing the Right Moment and Mediator – How to evaluate when to mediate and what to consider when selecting a mediator.
- Effective Pre-Mediation Strategy – Leveraging pre-mediation communications to position your client for success.
- Crafting Persuasive Mediation Submissions – What mediators value most and what to avoid.
- Navigating Virtual Mediations – Special challenges and opportunities in remote dispute resolution.
- What If It Doesn’t Settle? – Strategic steps to take when mediation does not result in immediate resolution.
This class is ideal for attorneys with limited or no mediation experience, but seasoned practitioners looking to sharpen their advocacy skills and refresh their approach will also find valuable takeaways. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to mediate like a pro from someone who’s seen it all from both sides of the table.
