Dedicated Project Manager Model

Commercial neutrals get retained for judicial insight, neutral analysis, and breaking settlement impasses—not for chasing dual-party retainer deposits or configuring Zoom breakout room privacy settings. You coordinate directly with one dedicated project lead who enforces strict confidentiality and legal ops SOPs.

  • Conflict Checking & Convening: Auditing multi-party legal names, insurer entities, and past matters to clear conflicts before joint sessions are locked.
  • Brief Collation & Evidentiary Vaults: Securely receiving and organizing confidential ex parte mediation statements and joint exhibits into encrypted folders.
  • Split Fee Billing & Escrow Accounts: Issuing 50/50 or customized cost-split retainer invoices and tracking payments from all counsel prior to call time.
  • $0 Fee for Supervision: 100% of your invoice goes strictly to actual productive case management hours worked.

Mediation & Legal Ops FAQs

Real Answers for Commercial Mediators & Neutrals

Confidentiality is the bedrock of mediation. Your assistant establishes segregated, client-specific encrypted portals in Citrix ShareFile, Box, or OneDrive. Plaintiff and Defense submissions are strictly isolated so neither party can access opposing submissions. Only the assigned mediator is granted master review permissions. Once received, briefs are logged, bookmarked, Bates-checked, and added to the neutral's private docket with all evidentiary privileges rigorously preserved.
Yes. Commercial mediations frequently involve complex fee apportionment (e.g., 50/50 splits between plaintiff and defense, or pro-rata divisions across multiple defendants and commercial carriers). Your VA issues itemized retainer invoices via LawPay or QuickBooks, monitors clearing deadlines 5 to 7 days before the hearing date, alerts counsel of outstanding balances, and compiles post-hearing time reconciliations for excess hours or refund distributions.
Your dedicated Project Manager acts as your single point of operational accountability. They conduct second-tier quality reviews on conflict check reports, verify that all signed Agreements to Mediate and retainers are in place before sessions open, ensure case turnaround SLAs are met in Clio or PracticePanther, and oversee timesheets. You never pay for the PM's management hours—only for the VA's productive work hours.
Virtual mediation requires ironclad breakout control to prevent accidental party crossover. Your VA sets up verified Zoom sessions with waiting room security, creates designated private caucuses (e.g., Room A: Plaintiff & Counsel; Room B: Defense & Risk Adjusters; Room C: Joint Expert Caucus), checks attendee credentials upon admission, ensures recording functions are disabled pursuant to mediation confidentiality statutes, and remains on standby to troubleshoot audio/video issues.
We execute comprehensive bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to onboarding. We practice strict least-privilege role permissions using enterprise password vaults like 1Password or Bitwarden. Your assistant is given access strictly to necessary matter folders and case scheduling queues—never master bank owner credentials—ensuring trade secrets, settlement values, and unreleased dispute terms remain completely protected.
