Episode One - Preparing For Mediation

What really goes on behind the scenes before a mediation? In this episode, Zakia is joined by accredited mediator David Goldberg to unpack the practical steps lawyers should take to set up a successful mediation. From pre-legal claims to full-blown litigation, they explore what paperwork truly matters, how mediators cut through mountains of emails and invoices, and why it’s not about creating a mini-trial—but finding space for compromise.

Whether you’re a lawyer, mediator, or simply curious about the art of conflict resolution, this episode offers insider tips that can save time, reduce stress, and make your next mediation more effective.
