Mediating Together For You
Trust | Commitment | Resolution
We have come up with a new concept: Practicing together for more than 30 years, exclusively in employment law, and working as co-counsel on each of our cases, we have developed a teamwork approach to litigation in which we challenge each other’s ideas and, ultimately, arrive at a consensus as to which argument or theory is most effective or achievable. Why not transfer this valuable experience from litigation to the world of mediation?
While the concept of co-mediators sounds like a novel idea, the Los Angeles Superior Court has already implemented this approach with its successful Resolve Law LA MSC Virtual Program which engages two settlement officers for each case.
Together as co-mediators, we help parties resolve disputes outside the courtroom. By bypassing court proceedings, we focus on the heart of the matter, allowing the parties to control the outcome without the stress, complexity, uncertainty and cost of litigation. Unlike rigid, court-imposed decisions or jury verdicts, mediation places control in the hands of the parties, allowing for customized solutions that address complex issues and facilitate resolution.
Our practice draws on nearly fifty years of combined legal knowledge and experience in employment law to help guide the parties through the mediation process by:
Identifying concerns, goals, opportunities, and potential outcomes
Determining the best conflict resolution style and approach
Opening constructive lines of communication between parties
Moderating the process to avoid confrontations or impasses
Negotiating settlement terms and offering alternative solutions
Securing the best attainable outcome for the parties
Facilitating paths to closure
We listen carefully. We are friendly. We are empathetic. We are respectful. We appreciate the emotions and needs of the parties in both rooms. We are genuinely concerned with the well-being of all involved.
WE ARE TRUSTWORTHY. WE ARE COMMITTED. WE FIND RESOLUTIONS.
