Success at Mediation: Lessons From One Lawyer’s Experience
What does it mean to succeed at mediation? Does it mean the same thing in every case, or to every person? How do you plan for success, and how do you adjust your plan when the mediation swerves? When do you conclude the mediation is not a success – and then what do you do? Amber Finch, Chair of Reed Smith’s Insurance Recovery Group and former Managing Partner of the firm’s Los Angeles office, will share insights to help every lawyer – and every mediator – answer these questions and make every mediation a success.
