Preparation aims to make the dispute and discussion topics clear. The decision to agree belongs to the parties.
Separate events from requests
Put events in chronological order, then identify disputed issues and questions you want to clarify. Linking agreements and correspondence to those topics can help prepare the meeting agenda.
Clarify participation and roles
The mediator is independent and impartial and does not decide for the parties. Confirm attendance and authority to represent in advance. Acting as mediator and representing one party as their lawyer are different roles.
Consider how an agreement would work
If payment, delivery or another obligation will be discussed, prepare questions about performance. If an agreement is reached, its scope and effects need to be assessed in the context of the particular dispute.
