CLE Webinar: Resolution Without Litigation: The Power of Mediation

Mediation has become an essential and widely used method for resolving legal disputes, offering a faster and more cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation. Mediation empowers parties to shape outcomes on their own terms while avoiding the costs, delays, and uncertainty of trial. NAM Hearing Officers, Jacqueline B. Stein, Esq. and the Hon. Marsha L. Steinhardt (Ret.), will explore the  benefits of mediation and share practical strategies for guiding clients through the process.

The presenters will also examine how mediating complex legal matters, such as those involving technical subject matter, require a more nuanced approach than typical personal injury or general civil cases. NAM's presenters will provide valuable insights into the mediation process, including preparation tips, managing expectations, and navigating challenges to achieve successful resolutions.
