When mediation begins, all it takes is the first demand or offer to set the mood for the rest of the meeting.
The initial move can even dictate whether or not mediation will be a success or not. Over time commercial litigators evolve as their own experiences guide them and they begin to cultivate their own best practices, including the use of cognitive science to help with their strategies. This white paper reviews how cognitive science can affect perceptions and influence a way of thinking.
