We are wrapping up our series on mediation with a deep dive into how private mediation typically works. Private mediation involves hiring a professional mediator to assist in reaching a settlement. Tom provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanics of a private mediation session.
He explains how private mediators, often retired judges or experienced attorneys, enhance the settlement process with their wealth of knowledge and expertise. Their motivation to reach a resolution, combined with their in-depth understanding of the field, makes private mediation a powerful forum to settle your case. Imagine having a settlement discussion with someone who has handled countless cases similar to yours.
One key distinction of private mediation is that it is not free, unlike mediation with the EEOC or in court. Tom also highlights the importance of the mediator being well-prepared, as they usually hold pre-mediation calls with attorneys to gain a clear understanding of the case and to identify potential challenges or opportunities for settlement.
Private mediators have a vested interest in reaching a settlement. Their success is measured by their ability to resolve cases. They are motivated and experienced, leaving little room for surprises. Learn how these private mediators skillfully maneuver negotiations.
This episode will provide valuable insights into this alternative method of resolution. Tune in as we explore the ins and outs of private mediation in more detail.
