Jack Waddey, co-founder of Waddey & Patterson, P.C., has successfully mediated dozens of sophisticated intellectual property cases, serving both as an advocate and as neutral. Having been recognized since 1998 as an approved mediator under Tennessee Supreme Court Rule 31, his extensive experience in intellectual property law – coupled with his proven track record as a get-it-done mediator – makes Waddey the name of choice in any situation where mediation should be a synonym for achieving successful resolution.

Following is an excerpt of Mr. Waddey's comments with regard to his mediation experience:

Mediation is an interesting and unique line of service. The essential skill-set is the antithesis of lawyer training, involving a great deal of listening; letting others make decisions; guiding, facilitating and creating solutions. 

An effective mediator in the intellectual property mediator must be able to …

  • Quickly understand the technology involved
  • Be able to correctly apply the law to the technology
  • Get parties to open up and communicate their real needs and goals
  • Have the creativity to develop alternative solutions
  • Be able to help the litigants “buy into” new ideas

… and have the experience and credibility to command respect during the process.

If you are looking for creative, forceful, knowledgeable, tireless mediation of your case, that’s what I bring to the table.  I'd welcome the opportunity to be of service.
-- I.C. "Jack" Waddey

“Outside the box mediation”

 

“Jack Waddey is an excellent mediator.  He was able to bring parties with widely diverse positions and interests together in the course of a day.  Jack accomplished this by polite, but insistent, discussion designed to lead the parties to fully understand their legal, financial and practical positions in the lawsuit.  He has put a lot of constructive thought in to the design of the facilities for mediation, which has resulted in a higher level of trust and confidence among the parties than the norm.  I have no hesitation in recommending Jack Waddey as a mediator.”
