There is no exact formula to calculate how long the mediation conference will last. Prior to mediation, the mediator should discuss with each side what needs to be done or brought along in order for both sides to be prepared to effectively negotiate and discuss settlement at mediation. Even if there are several issues to discuss or only a few, the amount of time it will take to resolve the conflict will vary depending upon the parties’ efforts. However, the Mediation Offices of Caryn Bayazi, Esq. is dedicated to the efficient use of time in all mediation conferences.
