What we can work on together
Online mediation in Kentucky: common questions
Yes. Private mediation is voluntary and the participants choose the mediator, so business partners and teams in Kentucky can mediate with Dr. Conflicts by Zoom or Google Meet. Sapir Saadon is certified by the Florida Supreme Court and is not on Kentucky court rosters, so if a Kentucky court has ordered mediation, check whether it requires a mediator from its own list.
In court-ordered mediation, yes: Kentucky's civil rules make mediation communications privileged and confidential. Parties are only encouraged to follow those rules in other mediations, so for private sessions confidentiality is typically set out in the written agreement to mediate. Ask a Kentucky attorney if it matters to your situation.
