What to expect during mediation?

•

Mediation steps and process:

  • Schedule complimentary exploration call
  • If you decide to move forward with mediation the mediator will schedule separate intake calls with each party 
  • One intake is complete the mediator and parties will find a time to meet together as a group. 
  • These sessions are typically 90-120 minutes and will continue until all matters have been discussed. Each client has different needs so it is hard to say how many overall sessions it will take, but I estimate 4-8 sessions on average (your circumstances may vary). 

What to expect from the mediator:

  • I will provide a written summary of each session for parties to review
  • At the conclusion of all mediation sessions I will provide a memorandum of understanding (MOU)
  • If your mediation is around a legal issue I recommend that each party submit the MOU to your legal representative for further processing
