Mediators tend to consider potential liability when something happens during a mediation. Risk management begins with the paperwork that the mediator provides to memorialize retention as the neutral, the confidentiality agreement/acknowledgement, continues through best practices, and on to having an insurance policy that provides malpractice coverage for mediator work. Learn about paperwork pitfalls and different insurance options. Bring your paperwork templates and your insurance policy and we will review and discuss (or you may e-mail these to the facilitator in advance).
