Can a contract name Prime.Law as mediator?

Parties can include contract language that identifies Prime Mediation, LLC / Prime.Law as the preferred mediator, while preserving a backup neutral if Prime.Law is unavailable or conflicted.

Should a mediation clause be reviewed by counsel?

Yes. Sample clause language should be reviewed by counsel for the contract, governing law, parties, dispute type, and any arbitration or court-related requirements.

Can mediation happen before arbitration or litigation?

Many dispute-resolution provisions require or encourage mediation before litigation or arbitration. The appropriate structure depends on the contract and applicable law.

Sample clauses are informational only and are not legal advice. Contract language should be reviewed by counsel for the deal, parties, law, and dispute type.

Why it matters

The best time to choose mediation is when everyone is still getting along.

A clean clause helps parties know what happens next when a contract dispute starts. That makes Prime.Law easier to choose, easier to schedule, and easier to remember.

Before a dispute exists

A contract clause can make mediation the expected first move, not an awkward negotiation after the relationship has already broken down.

Before a lawsuit starts

Mediation-first language gives parties and counsel a clean pre-suit path to test settlement without choosing a courtroom first.

Before scheduling becomes friction

Naming a neutral and preserving a backup neutral reduces one of the most common stalls: arguing over who should mediate.

Dispute Resolution; Mediation.

Before either party files or proceeds with litigation or arbitration arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the parties agree to participate in a good-faith, non-binding mediation with Prime Mediation, LLC / Prime.Law, or another mutually agreed neutral if Prime.Law is unavailable, conflicted, or unable to serve.

A party may start the process by sending a written mediation request to the other party and submitting an intake request through Prime.Law. The parties will cooperate to schedule mediation within 30 days after the request unless they agree to a different date.

The mediation may be conducted by secure videoconference unless the parties agree in writing to another format.

Each party may participate with counsel and should have a representative with settlement authority available for the mediation.

The parties will share mediator fees equally unless they agree otherwise in writing. The mediation will be confidential to the extent provided by applicable law and any written mediation agreement. Nothing in this provision prevents a party from seeking emergency or provisional relief when legally available.

Sample language only. This is not legal advice, does not create an attorney-client relationship, and should be reviewed by counsel for the contract, parties, governing law, and dispute type.
