We had our first Zoom mediation the other day, and we wanted to share our experience with anyone who may be considering these types of meetings in their case.

Overall, mediation over Zoom went well.

We’re still in the early days of this, so there are some things that we would do differently/better in the future.

We recommend that you use Zoom on your computer, and that you have a back up device for Zoom whether it’s a phone, iPad, tablet, etc.

This is looking like the “new normal” for cases whether we like it or not, but there are some great pros that make this transition easier. Can share documents. Much better than a phone mediation (those often occur in appealed cases).

Thanks for watching!

International mediators are heading back to Mali later this week to try to find an end to the political crisis.
The opposition has already rejected a proposal from regional body ECOWAS calling for a unity government.
They are insisting Mali’s President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita step down.

IF YOU LIKE OUR MEDIATION TIPS VIDEO FEEL FREE TO SHARE IT ON YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKS. EDUCATION IS POWER. IGNORANCE IS AVOIDABLE!

Mediation provides parties (Plaintiff and a Defendant) with an excellent chance to settle their case. But you do not want to blow it and you want to make sure you are properly prepared to handle the case. In this “litigation warrior” video Attorney Steve provides his top tips to help you reach a settlement in your mediation case, whether a Court-ordered mediation, or whether that parties have voluntarily agreed to ADR (Alternative Dispute Resolution) and agreed on either binding or non-binding mediation.

For example, we discuss:

1. Checking your ego at the door

2. Being realistic about settlement alternatives

3. The important of mediation briefs

4. How to negotiate your case

5. What the general process of mediation is

6. How to take it slow during the joint sessions and break out sessions

These are some really important legal concepts to understand before you spend time with the mediator. This is not an exclusive list.

If you need a lawyer in California or Arizona to help you with arbitration, mediation or litigation (particularly in the area of copyright infringement, internet, or entertainment law, call us at (877) 276-5084. In many cases we are able to structure a low flat rate legal fee.
