ROADS TO Resolution ~ Closure ~ Certainty

The “Mediator’s Proposal”: Pegging a Number That Makes Both Sides Stretch


Listen Later

“I don’t recommend that people negotiate to the point of wanting to have a mediator’s proposal. Ideally you and your clients are able to control your own negotiations, control your own outcome without needing that, but it's a wonderful tool to be able to be used when appropriate and when necessary.” In this episode, Jean Lawler–commercial + insurance mediator and arbitrator–draws from her experience as a mediator to provide an overview for attorneys of the “mediator’s proposal”. Questions answered during this episode include:

  • What is the mediator’s proposal?
  • How to use the mediator’s proposal in mediation?
  • Should you use the mediator’s proposal in mediation?
