New Mediation Disclosure Requirement for Lawyers
Except in class actions, new Evidence Code section 1129, effective January 1, 2019, requires attorneys to provide a written disclosure to clients before the client agrees to participate in a mediation that mediation communications are privileged and cannot be disclosed, even in a claim by the client alleging malpractice by the attorney (at the mediation).
Presumably, failure to provide the disclosure can be a grounds for disciplinary action.
Section 1129 provides a form of disclosure.
