Arbitrations, Bench Trials & Settlements

• Mock Arbitration/Mock Bench Trial

  We work alongside your litigation team during the live mock arbitration. Our consultants select a panel of mock arbitrators or judges that closely mirror your actual panel. We ask our mock arbitrators and judges to assume three distinct roles for participants: fact finder, critic, and strategist. They provide findings of fact and law followed by a critique of arguments and positions, engaging in detailed strategy development to refine arguments, themes, and demonstratives to be used in arbitration or bench trial proceedings.
