AIM Advanced Mediation Webinar Series

12 Ways to Make Your Mediator Work Harder For You

with Lee Jay Berman

Tuesday, August 11, 2026

at 3pm ET / 12n PT / 9am HI / 8pm GMT / 9pm CET

The American Institute of Mediation (AIM) invites you to join the first installment of our Advanced Mediation Webinar Series,  presented by one of the nation's foremost commercial mediators,  Lee Jay Berman.

This webinar addresses a challenge familiar to many legal professionals:  the gap between the expertise a skilled mediator possesses and the value added by those mediators toward achieving a settlement.  Experienced mediators bring to the table hundreds of hours of negotiation training and the experience of having conducted hundreds of mediations,  yet that depth of knowledge often goes untapped.

In this focused webinar,  Mr. Berman will present 12 specific, actionable strategies attorneys and party representatives can employ to engage their mediator more effectively,  strengthen their negotiating position,  and optimize their settlement outcomes.
