Mediation Methodology

Adv. Cabili’s approach to mediation is grounded in three main pillars:
• The legal pillar which involves thorough preparation ahead of the mediation, including in-depth legal analysis and careful review of the documents submitted to her. She also encourages the parties and their legal representatives to prepare meaningfully for the initial mediation session.
• The psychological pillar - Adv. Cabili places strong emphasis on understanding and managing the psychological dynamics of mediation. She is adept at identifying emotional undercurrents - including resistance to settlement - and structures the process to address these sensitively and constructively.
• The project management pillar - In protracted or complex matters, Adv. Cabili applies a strategic, project-based approach, coordinating experts as needed and maintaining momentum throughout the process.

Mediation Effectiveness and Efficiency

By finely calibrating between the three pillars and adapting the process to the specific needs of the parties, Adv. Cabili is able to conclude complex mediations effectively and successfully, including long-standing disputes. She conducts the process with sensitivity, creativity, and determination - often securing resolution within just one or two sessions.
