What is mediation?

Mediation is a process of resolving a dispute between two or more parties by utilizing a “third-party, impartial neutral” (the mediator) who can objectively assist the parties in weighing the strengths and weaknesses of their viewpoint (or side of a lawsuit) and help navigate the parties through a guided negotiation.

Where will mediation occur?

In person mediation is available at our offices in downtown Dallas. Additionally, Lynne is willing to travel to agreed upon locations, such as a law firm, to conduct mediation for parties’ convenience. When necessary, and if possible, Nash Legal Group may be able to secure a local neutral location away from our offices.

We can accommodate online mediation requests, yet believe the best mediations occur in person. Please let our office know what you need. Each dispute is different and needs to be treated with individual care.

Please know, we do not accommodate Probate mediation through an online format.

What can a party expect in mediation?

A participant in mediation should expect to have one-on-one time with the mediator discussing in private the details of their case. Further, there may be times when conversations among all the parties together could take place at some point during the mediation day.

Confidential Position Statement

Three business days before the day of mediation, attorneys/parties should plan to provide a confidential position statement covering (1) the parties in the dispute, (2) the law in the dispute, (3) the facts of the dispute, (4) what the outcome of the dispute is likely to be, and (5) what they expect the likely outcome to be should the dispute move forward in court.

What is Arbitration?

Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution process, assisting parties in resolving disputes outside of the legal system. In general, arbitration is driven by a contract provision which was agreed to before the dispute occurred. Both federal and state arbitration statutes control the requirements of the process. Several organizations may administer the arbitration process.

Once arbitration has been triggered, usually through a contract clause, parties begin the arbitration process understanding the arbitration decision will be legally binding and non-appealable, except in very few situations.

The arbitration process will be conducted by a single arbitrator or a panel of arbitrators who will read submitted briefs, make rulings regarding possible motions and discovery, hear testimony (if warranted), study evidence and ultimately deliver an opinion through an award of the arbitrator. The arbitration award may be entered as a judgement in a court of correct jurisdiction if necessary.
