Malcolm Sher

His approach to mediation reflects that experience. He is not interested in posturing or performative neutrality. Instead, by listening closely to the parties and counsel, he focuses on momentum, keeping negotiations moving, forcing clarity about risk, and helping parties make informed decisions. He consistently brings discussions back to two variables that drive resolution: the financial realities of continuing litigation and the inherent uncertainty of what will actually happen at trial. By grounding negotiations in these realities, he helps parties move away from rigid positions and toward practical outcomes.
