Overview
Mediation is becoming an ever-present fixture in all forms of employment litigation, whether that be in civil litigation or in matters before boards and tribunals. Mediation is a critical stage in the litigation process. It is important to take a holistic approach to the mediation process, one that does not focus on just the mediation itself. Careful consideration should be given to the timing of the mediation, the identity of the mediator and your approach to settlement authority in order to ensure that the mediation serves your strategic goals. You must also think carefully about your broader approach to the mediation itself to ensure a “successful” mediation, whether or not a mediation results in a mediated settlement.
