Mediation, Ethics, & Persuasion at Greenberg Glusker
This past month, Devin Tucker and Ben Root presented at the Greenberg Glusker offices, leading a CLE program focused on mediation ethics and persuasion. Drawing from active mediation practice, they shared real-world insights on thoughtful preparation, ethical decision-making, and effective techniques for navigating complex dynamics in high-stakes disputes.
Attorneys and mediators participated in a meaningful exchange on best practices that support efficient, fair, and durable resolution, increasing awareness of our services within the legal community.
Programs such as this reflect our ongoing commitment to education as a cornerstone of access to justice. By equipping practitioners with the tools and perspective needed to resolve disputes more effectively, we help ensure mediation remains a trusted and accessible pathway for parties across Los Angeles County.
