Bringing the Pieces Together: Steps for Better Outcomes in Class and PAGA Mediations With Barbara DuVan-Clarke & Danielle GruppChang

Join us for a program designed to help attorneys prepare effectively for class and/or PAGA mediations and avoid common pitfalls that lead to wasted time and stalled progress during mediation. Our speakers will walk you through a practical pre-mediation checklist with key steps to ensure all parties are aligned before mediation begins—so the mediator does not have to spend hours trying to get both sides on the same page resulting in the parties not getting to the important part, the numbers, until late in the day. This program will also highlight the importance of clear, proactive communication between plaintiff, defendant, and the mediator. Attendees will receive practical tips, timelines, and handouts to set their class and/or PAGA mediation up for success and make the most of their time at the mediation table.Audio versions of Beverly Hills Bar Association programs are eligible for Self-Study CLE credit in California.
