 Please join Mykhanh Shelton, Mike Young, and co-leads Anthony Khoury and Jack Schaedel on Monday, September 15th at 6pm.   Distributive bargaining is often the default in settlement talks—but is it the best path forward? Mediator Mike Young takes a different approach. Together, we’ll explore  alternatives to the back-and-forth, how biases shape negotiations, and what fresh strategies can mean for mediation.   MICHAEL D. YOUNG, ESQ. Michael D. Young, Esq. was at the forefront of the mediation movement, beginning his mediation training in 1989 and developing a mediation practice that complemented his trial and litigation practice. After more than 25 years as an employment, intellectual property, and business litigator and trial attorney with a national law firm, Mike left his litigation practice in 2011 to join Judicate West full-time helping parties resolve disputes through mediation.
