Shutts & Bowen LLP Tampa partner Ella Shenhav recently guest lectured for the University of South Florida St. Petersburg course, “Honors Negotiations.”

During the class held on November 4, 2025, Ella led a mock mediation where students joined in simulating legal negations. The mock mediation served as an educational tool for learning and utilizing dispute resolution skills.

Following the simulated mediation, Ella provided feedback to students and allowed them to ask questions about the real-life mediation process in the legal industry.
