Listen "Setting The Stage For Mediation–The Value Of Parties Exchanging Mediation Briefs With Each Other Prior To Mediation"
Episode Synopsis
The mediation brief is about more than informing the mediator. “It is something that you can use to explain to the other side–whoever the decision-maker might be on the other side–why you think you have a viable case, why it might have the value that you will ultimately be asking for or be willing to pay, once you’re in the mediation session. It can help set the stage.” In this episode, Jean Lawler–commercial + insurance mediator and arbitrator–draws from her experience as a mediator to discuss the benefit of parties exchanging mediation briefs prior to mediation. Episode highlights include:Why it is beneficial for parties to exchange mediation briefs with each other (with whatever can be shared)How far in advance to share a mediation brief with the other sideHow to communicate confidential information to the mediatorTo connect with Jean Lawler, follow her on LinkedIn or find her at LawlerADR.comTo read the full episode transcript please see the Podcast Website.
