Legal Grounds | Jeff Kichaven on the Psychology of Mediation, Advocating vs. Facilitating, and a Life in the Law
Manage episode 424372550 series 2775981
The obligation that attorneys have to zealously represent their clients is, as my guest today puts it, “like walking a razor’s edge between perfection and disaster.”
For the first 15 years of his career it was a job that Jeff Kichaven excelled at, but as he himself admits in our conversation today, it is incredibly taxing.
After discovering his passion lay in the negotiations of his own cases, Jeff has since become one of the most sought after mediators in the country.
We discussed topics ranging from the misperceptions of mediators as advocates to the complicated nature of confidentiality versus deception.
I would consider this week's episode required listening for any attorney no matter which side of the bar you find yourself on.
Enjoy the show!
