DANY WEBINAR: “INSIDE THE MIND OF A MEDIATOR – AVOIDING IMPASSE AND MAXIMIZING OUTCOMES IN MEDIATION”
New York, NY (September 10, 2020) – NAM (National Arbitration and Mediation), one of the nation's leading providers of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services, is pleased to announce that Richard P. Byrne, Esq. has been invited to present a live streaming DANY (Defense Association of New York) CLE webinar entitled Inside the Mind of A Mediator: Avoiding Impasse and Maximizing Outcomes in Mediation. This complimentary presentation is open to the public and will be held on Thursday, September 24th, 5:00 p.m. ET.
Although mediation resolves most disputes, some mediations end in impasse. Such disappointments can usually be avoided and positive resolutions achieved when advocates are armed with knowledge of common mediation pitfalls and develop negotiation skills that can enhance mediation outcomes. Learn how appropriate preparation, smart brief-craft, and thoughtful strategies during the mediation session — focused on the purpose, logistics and goals for the session — can not only reduce the potential for failure, but maximize results.
Mediation offers a number of advantages over formal litigation. These include lower cost, less time required to achieve resolution, no adverse publicity and greater control over the outcome of the dispute, among others. This program will take a closer look at these advantages and will also focus on why mediation provides an attractive way to resolve disputes that arise between parties that have an ongoing relationship which could be severely undermined by formal litigation.
