While skilled litigation counsel love the thrill of arguing at trial, they also understand that resolution is almost always in their clients’ best interests. Mediation is a critical juncture in a case and often the best opportunity to achieve resolution. Used effectively, the mediation process serves as an opportunity to resolve a dispute after the parties have had time to understand their positions, but before they have incurred the bulk of the costs associated with taking a matter to trial. Seizing this opportunity is more important than ever, given that litigation is as costly and financially, mentally, and emotionally taxing as it has ever been.
