Since mid-March 2020, Sheehey firm principal Jim Spink has held over 200 online mediations. When in person meetings were no longer an option last year, Jim moved his practice online, continuing to offer a way to resolve disputes and lawsuits with Zoom mediation sessions. In the past few months Jim has begun offering in person mediations again, however he is pleased to continue to offer online mediation. Jim remarked on the occasion “I’m pleased to have assisted with over 200 matters through online mediation. It has enhanced the way we conduct dispute resolution and has made our practice more adaptable and online tools have made the transition seamless and even preferable in many cases.” Learn more about Jim’s mediation practice here.
