Mediation Formats
1
Traditional Mediation
Half-day and full-day mediations for civil disputes. Mediations may be conducted remotely or in-person, or as hybrid proceedings, all based upon agreement of the parties.
Current Employment Issues
Mediations to address issues between current employee/employers to facilitate continued employment, including interactive process negotiations, religious and disability accommodations, and other employment-related disputes.
2
Single-Issue Mediation
Mediation for single issues with length and setting tailored for the specific needs of the parties. These may be pre-litigation disputes that need an impartial third party to assist in finding and formalizing specific agreements, or mid-litigation disputes to resolve discovery issues, narrow the issues for trial, or to create terms of dealing in situations where the parties must continue to interact during the pendency of litigation.
Post-Trial Mediation
Post-trial mediations require a very different approach given the traditionally clear advantage of the prevailing party. Given the nature of the appellate courts at this point, however, even a jury verdict is far from an assured victory in the end. The expense, and as often the time, makes the appellate process fraught with stress and uncertaintly. Mediation post-verdict is a worthwhile endeavor to allow your clients to close the book on this very unpleasant chapter.
