A party other than a natural person (such as a corporation or association) satisfies the
attendance requirement if represented by a person (other than outside counsel) who has final
authority to settle up to the full amount of the opposing party’s existing settlement demand or offer
and who is knowledgeable about the facts of the case. If the authority to settle is vested only in a
governing board, claims committee, or equivalent body and cannot be delegated, a party must
comply with the requirements of Northern District of California ADR Local Rule 7-4(a) and shall
designate a person with authority to participate in the settlement conference and, if a tentative
settlement agreement is reached, to recommend the agreement to the approving body for its
approval.
