From referral
to a focused session.
ClearDocket coordinates the administrative steps around the session while the independent mediator retains responsibility for screening, suitability and mediation.
Coordinate
ClearDocket confirms the proposed process, coordinates administrative onboarding and arranges next steps with the independent mediator.
Screen & prepare
The independent mediator conducts intake, conflict checks and screening, and determines whether mediation is appropriate before the session proceeds.
Four-hour Sprint
The independent mediator conducts the four-hour mediation, in person or virtually as agreed. Any outcome is returned to the parties and their lawyers for review and next steps.
FOR LAWYERS & LAW FIRMS
A practical way to
unstick a matter.
The Stuck File Sprint™ is designed for matters where the parties have resolved much of the separation but remain gridlocked on a limited number of issues. ClearDocket coordinates the referral and administration; an independent mediator screens for suitability and conducts the four-hour session, in person or virtually as agreed. ClearDocket does not provide legal advice or mediation. Counsel remains responsible for advising the client and preparing any final separation agreement.
Address the remaining issues
Use a dedicated four-hour session to work through the specific points preventing a largely resolved matter from moving forward.
One coordinated pathway
ClearDocket coordinates referral administration, onboarding logistics and scheduling with the independent mediator.
Independent mediation
The independent mediator handles screening, suitability decisions and the mediation itself. Each lawyer continues to advise their own client.
Choose the right setting
The four-hour session can be virtual or in person, depending on the needs of the matter and agreement of the mediator and participants.
