What Does a “Mediation Friendly Attorney” Mean?

Usually, mediators have lists of attorneys that they distribute to their clients, and they tell their clients that the attorneys are “mediation friendly”. This means that they are likely mediators or collaborative attorneys themselves and so they respect the process of Mediation. It does not mean that they will rubber stamp your Agreement. A review attorney will let you know what your rights are, possible pitfalls in the agreement, and of course, propose some different language. A review attorney should not try to make you change your mind about terms as long as you are fully informed as to your rights and the ramifications of your action.
