Welcome to Harborside Mediation

Written By Steven Siegler

A new approach to resolving disputes—one built on clarity, calm, and control.

I’m excited to welcome you to the Harborside Mediation blog.

I started Harborside because after more than two decades in civil litigation—representing both plaintiffs and defendants—I’ve seen just how powerful mediation can be. When handled with the right balance of neutrality, preparation, and emotional intelligence, mediation doesn’t just resolve conflict. It restores control to the people who are most affected by it.

This blog is here to offer insight into that process:

  • What mediation is—and what it isn’t

  • How it benefits both attorneys and their clients

  • How to prepare for mediation

  • What to expect in employment, business, personal injury, or civil rights mediations

  • And why more attorneys are choosing mediation early in the litigation process

Whether you're a litigator exploring mediation options for your client, a party facing a legal dispute, or a fellow neutral in the ADR community, I hope this space will offer clarity and practical guidance.

If you're new to mediation or wondering if your case is a good fit, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to have a quick, candid conversation about whether mediation is the right path forward.

Thanks for reading—and I look forward to sharing more with you soon.
