Mediation is often sold as a "path to resolution," but for some in-house counsel, it frequently feels like a repetitive exercise in splitting the difference or checking the box without nearing a settlement. But maybe that can be the goal?

This is meant to be a collaborative discussion, so please come prepared to share your "war stories," ask and answer some of the tough questions, and walk away with a refined playbook for your next negotiation.
