Experiência em Mediação

I have mediated about 30 cases and resolved numerous other cases as settlement counsel.

Abordagem & Filosofia de Mediação

I believe the mediator needs to adjust her approach to the parties and the nature of the dispute. While a facilitative approach might work if the parties have difficulties communicating, a more evaluative approach might be necessary if they can communicate but differ as to the likely outcome of any arbitration or mediation. A more directive approach might be necessary if the parties cannot figure out a solution to their issues.
