Mediator Style & Process Preferences
Mediator's philosophy is to aid the parties in focusing on issues significant to their decision to settle and why it is in their best interests to resolve the litigation. Because Mediator's emphasis is in business related litigation, Mediator has found it useful to help focus the parties on risk analysis exercises and cost of litigation and trial, including both legal costs of litigation and internal company costs of litigation.
