Who chooses the mediator when a claim is handled in securities mediation through FINRA?

Both parties have a say in the selection of the mediator, which is a neutral third party who will facilitate the negotiations. You may choose a mediator based on his or her background, experience, knowledge of the law and so on. The mediator plays an important role, as this person will attempt to help both sides see the important factors necessary to come to a resolution.

Keep in mind, though, that the mediator does not make a decision on the case. Instead, he or she guides each party to a solution.
