Mediation in the Post-Pandemic World

  • October 13, 2022
  • Stuart Rudner

In this article, I discuss mediation in the (hopefully) post-pandemic world; what has changed, how will it look, and what should counsel do to be as effective as possible? While the goal – to get the best possible result for your client – has not changed, I encourage counsel to consider how some of the mechanics and tools available have evolved over time and ensure that they are fully taking advantage of them.
