Focus on the Case. Understand the Risk. Find the Resolution.
At mediation, counsel and the parties have an opportunity to put aside the day-to-day demands of life or of running a litigation practice and focus on the case — including the strengths and weaknesses of their case, the risks they face, the evidence available, and the range of potential outcomes.
Mr. Avrahamy’s role is to help channel that focus into meaningful dialogue and, ultimately, resolution.
With decades of experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants, Mr. Avrahamy understands that every case has two sides — and that every case carries uncertainty. A strong case can have vulnerabilities. A seemingly weak case can present significant risks. And even when a party believes it can prevail, the time, expense, stress, and uncertainty of continuing litigation must be considered.
The goal of mediation is not simply to compromise. It is to make informed decisions.
Mr. Avrahamy works with the parties to identify the issues that truly drive the dispute, examine the risks and potential outcomes, and help each side evaluate whether resolution makes sense.
Through thoughtful questioning, candid discussion, and persistent but practical negotiation, he seeks to move the parties from positions to possibilities — and from litigation to resolution.
Because the most successful mediation is not about determining who is right. It is about helping both sides understand the case clearly enough to make a decision they can live with.
