Hahn Loeser Partner Jenny Dixon participated as a panelist for “Preparing, Persuading, and Resolving — 12 Strategies for Mediation Success,” a program hosted by the San Diego County Bar Association. The discussion offered attorneys practical insight into each stage of the mediation process, from early case assessment and client preparation to persuasive advocacy, productive settlement discussions, and resolution strategies designed to achieve more effective outcomes.
Jenny and her fellow panelists (Brian Mason, Bill Vandeweghe, Robert Shawhan) shared strategies for helping clients understand the opportunities and challenges of mediation, setting realistic expectations, engaging effectively with mediators, and approaching negotiations with both preparation and flexibility. The program highlighted how thoughtful preparation, clear communication, and a disciplined approach to resolution can help attorneys better position their clients for success in mediation.
