1 Prepare yourself

Before you start mediating, you need to prepare yourself mentally and emotionally. You should adopt a neutral and impartial attitude, avoiding any biases or judgments towards the parties involved. You should also clarify your role and goals as a mediator, and set some ground rules for the process. For example, you might ask the parties to respect each other, listen actively, and avoid interruptions or personal attacks.

Always know who you are mediating with. If it is attorneys on behalf of clients, it will be a very different mediation than if, for example, you were mediating a family dispute among children. I am a specialist in Personal Injury Mediations. I am always dealing with adjusters and attorneys to resolve personal injury cases. I do individual short pre-mediations with each of the participants. We get to know each other outside the more formal mediation environment.

2 Understand the situation

The next step is to understand the situation and the perspectives of the parties involved. You should ask open-ended questions, paraphrase what you hear, and summarize the main points. You should also identify the underlying interests, needs, and emotions of each party, and acknowledge them. By doing this, you will show empathy and respect, and help the parties feel heard and understood.

It is impossible for any mediation to be successful without a plan and a clear understanding of the process as well as the context. This means educating yourself (or having your lawyer educate you) on who the Mediator is, how it will be conducted, and who will be involved (perhaps multiple parties). It is conducted in the context of the underlying case. This requires you to know what your goals are, what the claims are, what the defenses are, and have a concept of potential value for the case. The question of value is very subjective, but research of comparative verdicts and settlements as well as the lawyer's experience will inform your goals and your strategy.

3 Generate options

Once you have a clear picture of the situation and the parties' interests, you can help them generate options for resolving the dispute. You should encourage them to brainstorm creatively and collaboratively, without evaluating or criticizing any ideas. You should also guide them to focus on the future, not the past, and to look for win-win solutions that benefit both sides. You can use techniques such as reframing, expanding, or combining ideas to generate more options.

4 Evaluate options

After generating options, you need to help the parties evaluate them and select the best one. You should ask them to weigh the pros and cons of each option, and to consider how realistic, feasible, and acceptable they are. You should also help them test the options against their interests, needs, and emotions, and to check for any potential drawbacks or risks. You can use criteria such as fairness, efficiency, or sustainability to evaluate options.

5 Negotiate agreement

The final step is to negotiate an agreement that satisfies both parties and reflects their chosen option. You should help them draft a clear and specific agreement that outlines the actions, responsibilities, and timelines of each party. You should also help them review and confirm the agreement, and to address any remaining concerns or questions. You should also congratulate them on their achievement, and thank them for their cooperation and trust.

In order to put together the final written agreement that represents the agreements negotiated in the Mediation, you start with: what happened? What was the Mediation about? What was negotiated? By the time it is ending, it should be clear to the parties whether there were any agreements made. It may be as straightforward as: the injured party accepts the agreed payment in exchange for dismissing and waiving all their claims. But there may also be ancillary terms that are important. Or the negotiation may be about more than "dismissal for money settlement." Documenting and outlining an understanding that all agree to is critical to have a lasting resolution of the claims.

6 Follow up

Even after reaching an agreement, you should follow up with the parties to ensure that they are implementing it and that they are satisfied with the outcome. You should contact them after a period of time, and ask them for feedback on the process and the results. You should also offer them support and guidance if they encounter any difficulties or challenges. By doing this, you will reinforce their commitment, and foster a positive and lasting relationship.
