Preparation is key to successful mediation. Lawyers who ensure their clients are fully prepared for mediation tend to achieve more favorable outcomes.


Client Prep: The most successful mediations involve clients who understand the process. Preparing your client means discussing the potential outcomes, setting realistic expectations, and explaining how the mediator will facilitate discussions.


Pre-Mediation Dialogue: Before mediation, it’s important to have an open dialogue with opposing counsel to clarify the key issues at hand. This helps ensure a more focused and productive mediation session. Pre-mediation discussions also give both sides a chance to propose potential solutions in advance.





Effective mediation begins with proper preparation. By making sure your client understands the process and engaging in pre-mediation discussions, you increase the chances of a successful outcome.
