  • Court-ordered or voluntary civil mediation

What Peach needs to evaluate the request

  • Pleadings, material evidence, damages support, liens, and settlement history
  • A current case evaluation identifying strengths, weaknesses, and litigation risk
  • Written opening authority, target range, nonmonetary terms, and approval chain
  • Client attendance requirements and confirmation of an available final decision-maker
  • Confidential mediation statement, exhibits, key orders, and mediator communications
  • Instructions on releases, confidentiality, payment timing, admissions, and unresolved terms
Before you submit

Send enough nonconfidential information to identify the parties, venue, proceeding, date, expected role, urgency, and experience required. Do not send privileged strategy or sensitive personal information until conflicts and secure-transfer instructions are addressed.

Scope and expectations

Know what counsel can handle—and what still requires your direction.

Within an approved engagement

  • Preparing from the supplied evaluation and presenting the authorized position
  • Communicating proposals, analyzing movement, and consulting the designated decision-maker
  • Negotiating only within documented authority and agreed escalation procedures
  • Identifying material nonmonetary provisions and unresolved deal points
  • Documenting whether an agreement was reached and what remains to be completed

Important limitations

  • Assigned counsel does not independently create or expand settlement authority
  • The client or authorized decision-maker must remain available as required
  • No settlement result or dollar amount can be promised
  • Final agreements, releases, liens, tax consequences, and enforcement terms may require review by the primary firm or other professionals

After the assignment

What the requesting firm receives

The requesting firm receives a negotiation summary, material offers and responses, the status of settlement, open terms, execution requirements, and any court or mediator deadlines—subject to mediation confidentiality and the engagement terms.
