OBA Insurance Law PROGRAM | 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM (ET)
Build practical mediation skills and strengthen your negotiation approach. Tailored specifically for personal injury and insurance cases, this program prepares you to manage client expectations, work effectively with mediators, and navigate each stage of the mediation process with clarity and confidence.
Join our expert speakers as they unpack key mediation topics, including:
- Preparing for mediation: first-time expectations, pre-mediation briefs, and mediation vs. pre-trials
- Strategy and dynamics: multi-party liability, evolving negotiation approaches, and working with self-represented clients
- Roles and conduct: mediator vs. lawyer responsibilities, client participation, and the use of apologies
- Process in practice: in-person vs. virtual mediation and effective post-mediation follow-up
- Finalizing and documenting your settlement: learn how to properly paper negotiations and settlements to avoid any potential professional liability claims.
