About Megan Geer
With 12 years of litigation experience, I understand what's at stake — and what it costs to fight. There is a better path.
I came to mediation after twelve years as a litigator. My career was built in courtrooms, depositions, motion hearings, settlement conferences, and negotiations—representing clients when the stakes were high and the path forward was uncertain.
I began my legal career at the Nashville Public Defender’s Office, where I developed the ability to evaluate difficult cases quickly, communicate with people under extraordinary pressure, and advocate effectively in the courtroom. I later built a broad civil litigation practice representing both plaintiffs and defendants in complex disputes involving construction, contracts, businesses, insurance, personal injury, workers’ compensation, and other civil matters.
Working on different sides of a dispute taught me an important lesson: every case looks different depending on where you are sitting. Effective resolution requires more than understanding the law. It requires listening carefully, identifying what is truly driving the conflict, evaluating risk honestly, and helping each party recognize both the strengths and limitations of its position.
I have seen firsthand what prolonged litigation costs. The financial expense is often only the beginning. Lawsuits consume time, create uncertainty, interrupt businesses, strain families, and damage relationships that may never fully recover. Even when litigation is necessary, continuing the fight is not always the most productive path.
That experience led me to mediation—not as a retreat from litigation, but as a more effective application of everything it taught me. Because I have spent my career litigating cases, I understand how disputes develop, why negotiations stall, what matters to attorneys and their clients, and what may happen if a case does not resolve.
I bring the same preparation, persistence, and practical judgment to every mediation that I brought to the courtroom. I study the facts, understand the legal issues, ask direct questions, and remain engaged throughout the process. My role is not simply to carry numbers between rooms. It is to help the parties evaluate risk, overcome obstacles, and identify a resolution that allows them to move forward.
I earned my Juris Doctor from the University of Tennessee College of Law in 2014, with a concentration in Advocacy and Dispute Resolution. After more than a decade spent advocating through conflict, my focus is now on helping people resolve it—with clarity, preparation, and purpose.
