How to Prepare a Client for Mediation
Mediation is of growing importance to those in legal practice. This presentation will look at mediation within the legal process, managing clients’ expectations, when to consider brief counsel, advising clients where agreement reached through mediation and where agreement not reached, managing a client who is resistant to mediation, and discussing ways to prepare your client for mediation so that clients are more confident entering the mediation process.
The session will also provide with practical tips to consider when assisting clients as they prepare for mediation, so that both you and your client can get the most out of the mediation process.
