MEDIATION STRATEGY CONSULTATIONS
Strategic guidance for high-stakes negotiations.
Effective mediation advocacy begins long before anyone enters the room. Mediation Strategy Consultations are designed for legal teams and their clients navigating complex disputes where preparation, perspective, and clarity can materially affect the outcome.
These private consulting engagements provide strategic guidance ahead of mediation, with a focus on the development of offers, fostering internal alignment, and dynamic negotiation planning. Erin Gleason Alvarez brings the insight of a full-time commercial mediator—along with deep experience in dispute resolution program design and cross-border matters—to help clients approach mediation with confidence and composure.
Clients receive tailored support in refining negotiation positions, identifying moments of leverage, and preparing for real-time decision-making under pressure. When appropriate, sessions include one-on-one preparation for individual parties, offering guidance on messaging, tone, and process expectations to reduce surprises and enhance credibility at the table.
Mediation Strategy Consultations are particularly well suited for matters involving:
-
Significant financial or reputational exposure
-
Multinational or multi-party dynamics
-
Complex interpersonal or organizational histories
-
Clients unfamiliar with mediation or anxious about participation
Engagements are offered on a flat-fee basis and may include consultation on mediation briefs, negotiation planning, and strategic availability during mediation day. All work is conducted in a consulting capacity, with a strict commitment to confidentiality.
