As a lawyer representing your client at mediation, have you ever asked for a mediator’s proposal when the numbers weren’t even close? Or have you ever given up on mediation too soon? Remember that in mediation, your goal is to get to the “dance floor” and dance. With each settlement offer you make, you are trying to narrow that “dance floor” to the point where you are within the range where a settlement can happen that is in line with your client’s interests. In this episode, Jean Lawler–commercial + insurance mediator and arbitrator–draws from her experience as a mediator to share with lawyers her five suggestions of what not to do during mediation.
