About Carla
Carla Nasoff works as a mediator and runs a private practice that carries her surname. She is the principal of NasoffMediation and serves as a neutral in sessions where parties seek settlement outside court. Her approach is practical and procedural. She prepares parties for real conversations and helps them reach agreements they can live with.
Her career centers on dispute resolution. She has spent years conducting mediated sessions, helping disputants define issues, explore options, and document outcomes. She typically manages pre-mediation intake, frames the issues at the outset of a session, and oversees the drafting of settlement terms when parties reach agreement. Those steps are familiar to anyone who has taken part in mediation, but she emphasizes clear process and careful record-keeping.
Nasoff’s work draws on conventional mediation techniques and a measured manner in the room. She often uses shuttle diplomacy when parties prefer separate rooms. She encourages direct dialogue when that appears likely to move a case forward. The emphasis is on practical resolution rather than protracted negotiation. She maintains neutrality throughout and treats settlement terms as enforceable agreements once the parties approve them.
Clients and counsel appreciate a mediator who manages time and expectations. Nasoff schedules sessions to allow adequate preparation and keeps discussions focused. She can move quickly from problem identification to solution exploration. That efficiency helps reduce the expense and uncertainty that often accompany contested matters. While mediations do not always end in full settlement, she aims to produce clarifying steps that reduce friction and narrow remaining disputes.
Outside the mediation room, Nasoff handles administrative and practice management responsibilities for her firm. She organizes session logistics and supervises the preparation of mediation memoranda and closing statements when requested. She also maintains the records that accompany mediated settlements so the parties have clear documentation of their agreements.
As of 2026 she leads NasoffMediation and continues to serve as a neutral facilitator for parties seeking negotiated resolutions. Her current practice focuses on mediation and alternative dispute resolution.
