The Effective Use Of Experts In Mediation

Geoff — Sun, 04 Mar 2007 04:18:57 +0000

Here I talk to Barry Jordan of PPB McCallum Petterson, a leading forensic accounting firm.

Barry is Director of his firm’s Forensic Services Team and is often engaged as a financial expert in cases that end up in both the court and mediation.

I ask Barry about his role as an expert, both generally and in some detail - getting down to the nuts and bolts of an expert’s role in joint and private mediation sessions; how mediators can assist experts in narrowing the all to often gap between competing expert views; how mediators can move from the science of the case (the numbers/technical aspects) towards the pragmatic/commercial deal making part of the mediation and how experts can ‘partner’ mediators when the going gets tough.
