Settlement counselors are experienced mediators who assist trial lawyers in preparing for and representing their clients at mediations. They can assist you with any or all of: preparing confidential mediation statements, preparing opening statements, evaluating claims and defenses, preparing flexible negotiating plans, and formulating constructive offers and counteroffers. Drawing on their knowledge of the mediation process, they can help you communicate effectively with and through the mediator and provide real time insights into what the mediator is thinking and what is happening in the other caucus room. So consider retaining a settlement counselor to assist you at mediation.
