For lawyers and barristers who are prepared on legal arguments and analyses but don't know what to say or do when mediations deadlock
You've spent hours prepping. Your position paper is solid. You know the law inside out.
Then the mediation hits a wall. The other side digs in. And you're stuck in the room, not knowing what to say or do next.
You risk being taken advantage of, losing your temper, or watching them leave without settlement and head to court. Now you must explain what went wrong to your client—and you're silently replaying what you could have done differently.
The problem isn't your legal skills. It's that no one taught you what to do when logic and legal arguments aren't enough.
This checklist gives you the tactical advantage when mediations deadlock:
- 5 tactical strategies that break deadlocks when the other side won't budge — so you know exactly what to say when nothing's moving and consistently deliver results others can't
- The exact framework that makes difficult counterparts solve the problem, so you stop fighting for control and start influencing outcomes without damaging your reputation
- How to disarm objections before they're used as weapons — so you protect your client's interests and reach settlement faster without compromising what's most important
This isn't theory. It's the tactical advantage high-performance lawyers and barristers use when mediations deadlock.
