Representative’s Role in Mediation Preparation
When a dispute erupts, things could get awry and emotions could run high that it’s really hard to tell on how to properly prepare before the big day of mediation. Most people, though not necessary, they could let their lawyers and representatives stand in their behalf during the mediation process for several reasons; professional and personal. Therefore, for a representative, it is very important that he prepares vigorously as the success of the mediation will rely on how prepared the parties are. First, the representative must have gone through the details about the nature of the dispute. He must have a first-hand account on the issue so he could properly represent his client. Next, he could meet with the mediator and ask whether there any other requirements needed for the expedient process of the mediation. Lastly, he must exhaust any available data in a thorough study, and he must be willing to listen to the statements of the other party.
