Frequently Asked Questions
What makes your mediations effective?
Two factors drive effective mediation outcomes:
- Structured pre-mediation preparation
- Strategic management of impasse
- This approach allows parties to identify obstacles early and maintain momentum throughout the negotiation process.
What should participants expect in the preparation phase?
Before mediation, Christina Magee works directly with participants to clarify the core issues and identify barriers to resolution.
- Identifying the essence of the dispute
- Defining what each party believes is necessary to reach resolution
- Isolating the current obstacles preventing agreement
- Understanding each party’s strategy and expectations
- This process ensures that mediation begins with focus, clarity, and realistic expectations.
How do you handle impasse in mediation?
Assessing negotiation movement
- Where are the parties now?
- What movement has occurred?
- What additional movement is possible?
Distinguishing true vs. potential impasse
- Is the current position fixed, or is movement still possible?
- Reality-testing is used to help parties evaluate risk and options
- Re-engaging stalled negotiations
- Identifying what additional information or conditions are needed
- Developing a strategy to move parties back into productive negotiation
What happens if the parties are far apart at the start of mediation?
It is common for parties to begin mediation with significantly different positions. In many
cases—including insurance-related disputes—there are sound reasons why the parties
start far apart.
Christina Magee uses a structured approach to help parties move from extreme or
entrenched positions toward productive negotiation.
- Identifying the underlying drivers behind each party’s position
- Maintaining momentum so negotiations do not stall
- Helping parties communicate movement without weakening their negotiating position
- Using a range of negotiation techniques, tailored to the case, to signal realistic
resolution pathways - There is no single method that works in every case. The process is adapted to ensure
that progress continues while each party’s core message remains clear and effective.
