Mediation is a critical moment in a conflict. As counsel, it may be your last chance to maximize value for your client. Below are some resources I have developed to help lawyers do just that.

Please email me at jegsgard@egsgardmediation.com if you are interested in receiving any of the following:

  1. Pre-Mediation Checklist for Counsel – a list of topics that might be addressed in a pre-mediation conference, and that counsel would do well to consider in preparation for any negotiated resolution.
  2. Pre-Mediation Questions for Clients – Being aware of your client’s interests in the conflict enables you to better consider resolution possibilities including creative settlement terms. This list of questions will help you explore your client’s interests.
  3. Mediation Brief Guidance – Tips to make your brief as useful as possible in advancing your client’s position and exploring resolution.
