10 Minutes on Virtual Mediations

Virtual mediations work. The mediation community is convinced. The early adopters in law firms and companies are convinced. Cases are settling. Cases of every level of complexity, in nearly every field of law. Cases with 2 parties and cases with 20 parties are settling online. But many people are holding back. They are waiting for the more familiar in person mediations to resume. Consider this: we don’t know when the truly in person mediations will happen. Is a mediation where the participants are wearing face masks and required to sit 6 feet apart better than a virtual mediation? If you schedule a session for the fall but there is a second wave of COVID in September, will you have been better off than if you scheduled a video session now. There is no risk free approach if you want to have a mediation. Virtual is different and different can feel risky. But it works and it is pretty easy to master the fundamentals. If you want to talk through whether your case is appropriate for a virtual mediation and consider some of the flexible and creative approaches to getting your virtual mediation process started, please use the schedule a call function on my website. No obligation. 10 minutes of your time. I enjoy having the conversations and would be happy to help.
