Clients are free to choose any attorney they want to review their mediated agreement—there’s no requirement to select a “mediation-friendly” attorney. However, if clients are truly committed to the terms they reached, no attorney should sway them from those choices; if they aren’t completely committed, the mediator will want to address that before anything is signed. The language of a separation agreement matters.
