Five Mediation Mistakes That Create Obstacles to Settlement

In Episode 9 of the Alternative Litigation Strategies podcast, Kevin interviews Rachel Gupta, an independent mediator and arbitrator. Rachel is the Founder and Principal at Gupta Dispute Resolutions and a JAMS Diversity Fellow. Kevin and Rachel discuss the most critical behaviors parties to ADR should avoid in order to achieve a successful resolution and tackle additional issues such as: anchoring too high or too low, failing to adequately prepare (your clients) for the mediation, not accounting for compound risks, making premature ultimatums, and simply being overly litigious.
