As a mediator, I place great emphasis on the preparation of both the parties and me, for which I have developed a Mediation Preparation Questionnaire that I adapt to each case, with the questions being common to the parties and the answers being exclusively confidential. This type of preparation allows me to use a facilitative style, while in the negotiation and closing phase I can use evaluative techniques not related to the outcome but to the adequacy of the options on the table with respect to the interests of the parties. At the request of the parties, I can use a strictly evaluative style if I am familiar with the applicable law. In civil law jurisdictions in these cases I agree with the parties that my role will be that of a conciliator to avoid confusion of techniques and process that could prejudice the smooth running of the proceedings.

Mediation: Since 2020 (pandemia) regularly use Zoom for mediations, whether they are entirely remote, or combining face-to-face sessions with private remote preparatory sessions. What started as a necessity has been incorporated into daily practice by adapting mediation techniques to remote work. Combine the remote sessions with telephone calls to the parties and or their lawyers, as well as, of course, e-mail correspondence. Arbitration: Even before the pandemic, conducted and continue to conduct remote arbitration hearings to keep costs down for the parties. Witness testimonies, when they are essential to the proceedings, still try to keep them always face-to-face. Training: Created and registered (2013) the DIMA Training methodology for online training in mediation and negotiation techniques. (DIMA stands for Dispute Management) Time and billing: The dedication of time to the different files, as well as their invoicing, is carried out in a coordinated manner by electronic support.
