Ms. Mousilli approaches mediation with a focus on practical resolution, informed risk
assessment, and durable outcomes. Her philosophy emphasizes:

• Helping parties identify underlying interests as well as legal positions
• Encouraging realistic evaluations of risk, cost, and timing
• Creating space for candid discussions that can uncover creative, sustainable settlements
• Maintaining neutrality while clarifying legal standards, process dynamics, and potential trial
outcomes

She brings a litigation-informed perspective to mediation, grounded in years of firsthand trial
experience. Her goal is to help parties make informed, strategic decisions based on how disputes
unfold in real courtrooms, not merely how they appear on paper.

litigation firms, representing both plaintiffs and defendants in matters including commercial
