Every mediated dispute deserves a process that maximizes the potential for resolution. Paulo makes preparation a priority so that when the parties arrive at the table, the groundwork is already in place. He reviews the parties’ positions and key documents beforehand, and is always available to communicate with lawyers in advance, to identify and clarify the salient issues, each party’s priorities, and work on setting realistic expectations. This early preparation keeps the mediation session focused and avoids wasted time.
In the room, Paulo’s style is calm but deliberate. He keeps conversations moving, manages the pacing, and helps parties test their positions with clarity. By maintaining balance, he ensures that each side feels heard while keeping progress in view.
The result is a process that maximizes the chances of a negotiated resolution. Even when a mediation does not lead to a resolution of the dispute, the parties leave the mediation knowing it was fair, efficient, and thoughtfully managed, and that Paulo is always available post-mediation to assist in reaching a voluntary resolution.
Paulo’s style blends preparation with calm persistence grounded in 30 years of mediation experience. Pre-session preparation sets the stage. During the session, pacing is steady, time is respected, and positions are tested realistically, with the ultimate goal of reaching a better alternative to continuing with litigation or arbitration.
