Mediation
Koskie Minsky's mediation practice has grown at a rapid rate over the past five years, reflecting an awareness that almost any type of dispute can benefit from the process of mediation. The 1990s saw a proliferation of many techniques of alternative dispute resolution, as law firms responded to the demand for alternate and creative forms aside from the adversarial legal system to solve seemingly intractable situations. Larry Banack is Koskie Minsky's most experienced mediator. He has handled hundreds of mediations and possesses a reputation for dealing with cases with innovation and motivation. With specialized training with the Canadian Bar Association of Ontario, University of Windsor and the Ontario Insurance Commission Training Program, Larry's well-practised mediation skills have helped to facilitate the early resolution of many disputes, saving time and expense in many cases. Larry is a member of a number of societies, including the Society for Conflict Resolution and ADR Institute of Ontario. To see a mediator profile for Larry Banack, please click here. Mediation is the process by which an alternative dispute resolution (ADR) professional, called a mediator or "neutral", helps the parties reach a resolution of their dispute. It is a non-binding process involving joint and separate meetings of the neutral with the parties in which the role of the neutral is as a facilitator and intermediary. The mediation process is helpful as it educates the parties as to the perceived strengths and weaknesses of their case. The mediation process also serves as a forum for airing emotional differences that may stand in the way of resolving conflict, and thus, may help facilitate a settlement that both sides can be satisfied with much earlier in the adversarial process than could otherwise be reasonably expected.
