Our Approach to Mediation
The selection of a mediator can be one of the most important decisions made in the litigation process. We encourage all parties to come to mediation with an open mind, no matter what the communications have been to date. A positive attitude wrapped in civility can create apparent miracles in mediation, as well as in life. Mediation has the capability of identifying, and sometimes creating a common ground not easily found in any other manner.
The mediation process requires a mediator to possess excellent litigation skills and knowledge, combined with talents like those exhibited by each of our team members throughout their careers. We strive to help increase your chances of capturing the advantages the mediation process can offer. Our experience, qualifications and solid approach will help create a positive environment for resolving any type of dispute.
We believe mediation is both an art and science. It utilizes time tested techniques but also relies on the talents and commitment of the mediator.
These are key attributes exhibited by our team of successful mediators:
- Good listening skills
- Integrity
- Diplomacy
- Experience – A knowledge resulting from decades of real-life litigation
- Analytic Skills – The ability to walk each party through the strengths and weaknesses of each case and to thereby consider the possibilities of various consequences
- A lifetime of Diversity Training that respects the different reference points which individuals may bring to a situation and the ability to help people from all cultures find common ground
