Typically, mediation should commence as early as possible before significant attorneys’ fees and costs have been incurred (and paid). This can help to avoid a situation where the parties are unwilling to waive those expenses as a condition of a settlement. However, sometimes to set the stage for a successful mediation, it is necessary to perform initial discovery or file dispositive motions, which may result in higher initial attorney fees, but can be instrumental to achieving the desired outcome.
