Why mediate with a mediator who has represented both employees and employers, plaintiffs and defendants and insurance companies?

Very often mediators have either represented one side or the other in litigation. Having been on both sides of the ‘v’ in litigation gives a unique perspective when working to resolve cases. A mediator who has tried cases on BOTH sides is often a rarity.

Your mediator must know:

  • How to handle the emotions and personalities,

  • How to handle perceptions and aspirations versus reality,

  • How to handle the addition of external factors on a lawsuit,

  • How to handle the insurance, business and tax aspects,

  • How to handle employment and/or Veterans benefits,

  • How to handle issues of closure and turning those into positives,

  • How to get the case resolved!
