Jonathan Meer (Partner-New York) will lead the panel “Stepping into the Mediation Arena: How to Prepare for Effective Outcomes” at the CLM Focus Conference, held in New York on December 4, 2024.  While mediation is increasingly preferred to resolve disputes and virtual mediation is on the rise, the process remains adversarial and requires thorough preparation. Jonathan’s panel offers practical tips for lawyers, adjusters, and clients on preparing for mediation, including selecting the right mediator, timing, and strategies to maximize effectiveness and achieve creative resolutions. Joining Jonathan on the panel are Andrew Nadolna of JAMS and Robyn Lauber, Vice President of the EPL/Private & Nonprofit Claims Group at Berkshire Hathaway.
