‘Clients should be well-prepared and understand what mediation is. If you only intend to repeat previous offers (or make the same offer), mediation will fail. Compromise and, therefore, making and considering offers, is essential. Clients should be fully prepared on what kind of compromises may or may not work. Clients should be briefed on what mediation is and how it works. This may be obvious to lawyers but its not always done or often expected to be done on the day… which is too late.’
