ADR glossary
Referring lawyer
A lawyer who sends clients or matters to an independent mediator and needs predictable scheduling, intake, and status communication.
General information only, not legal advice, mediation advice, or a substitute for professional judgment. Neutly is administrative software for mediator practices; it does not host live video or select court neutrals. Mediators and lawyers remain responsible for their work.
Referrers judge mediators on responsiveness and administrative clarity as much as process skill. Transparent booking links, intake completion, and fee status reduce coordination overhead for counsel.
Neutly materials for lawyers explain what software does and does not do—no neutral selection for court lists, no replacement for mediator judgment—so expectations stay professional.
