Style & Approach
I try to be as much flexible and adaptive as parties need it and mediation process allows. In my mediation practice I tend to use facilitative approach. I facilitate negotiation process by different techniques such as asking questions, paraphrasing, reframing, encouraging parties to make long-term and mutually beneficial decisions, based on consensus or sometimes compromise. At the same time in commercial and complex cases I include some elements of evaluative style, working mostly in caucuses, using decision tree instrument if there is a need, helping parties to evaluate strengths and weaknesses of their positions and potential risks. I do my best helping parties to achieve balance between legal positions and their core interests. I very welcome participation of parties’ lawyers in mediation. Living, communicating and negotiating in multicultural country makes it easier for me to work with parties of different cultures and ethnicities.
