🔹 Many clients ask: "Is my case too complex for mediation?"
🔹 Example case: A deadly hotel fire in Las Vegas that resulted in 15 deaths.
🔹 15 lawsuits were filed after the fire.
🔹 20 defendants involved — including the building owner and various companies.
🔹 Despite the complexity, the case is being resolved through mediation.
🔹 Parties have gone through multiple rounds of mediation.
🔹 A resolution is expected in the coming weeks.

💡 Why Mediation Works — Even for Complex Cases:

🔹 Going to court with dozens of plaintiffs and defendants could take a decade.
🔹 Legal fees and court delays can drain time and money.
🔹 Plaintiffs or defendants may pass away, disappear, or go out of business during a long trial.
🔹 Mediation can:

• Be completed in a few years (even for complex cases)
• Be faster and more efficient
• Save money on legal costs
• Provide more control over the process

⚖️ Mediation vs. Court:
🔹 Court: Bound by the court calendar and backlogs.
🔹 Mediation: Can be scheduled in the private sector at a much faster pace.
🔹 Mediation is voluntary — you can reject the outcome and still pursue litigation.
🔹 In court, once a judge rules, you must comply with the decision.
📝 Final Thought:
🔹 Mediation is not just for simple cases like divorce or small claims.
🔹 It can absolutely handle even the most complicated disputes — like a deadly fire involving multiple lawsuits and dozens of parties.
