Posted on Oct 20, 2020 |CLE Events

New York, NY (October 20, 2020) – NAM  (National Arbitration and Mediation), one of the nation's leading providers of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) services, is pleased to announced that Jennifer Herscovici, Esq. has been invited to present a live streaming CLE webinar to MCIC Vermont entitled, Early Mediation – A Mediator's Perspective. The presentation will be held on Thursday, October 29th at 9:00 a.m ET.

The high cost of litigation, as well as the reality that most civil litigation, resolved prior to trial, has made mediation of civil matters more prevalent.  Combined with the increase in court-mandated mediation and court-annexed alternative dispute resolution programs, mediation has become a fact of life for litigators and parties alike.  Knowing the keys to a successful mediation, therefore, is essential for any litigator.

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. Ms. Herscovici will take a closer look at these advantages and will also focus on why early 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.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • Considerations for early mediation
  • Selection of a mediator
  • Confidentiality
  • Speed of process
  • Less formal
  • Preparation for mediation
  • Cost of litigation
