I am a practical, solution-focused Mediator, Arbitrator following being a General Counsel with more than 30 years of success, the last 10 years serving as in-house counsel for an Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Private Company. During the course of my career, I have had the benefit of representing both plaintiffs and defendants, individuals and companies, in a broad spectrum of practice areas.
My Mediation Practice Specialties are:
▪️ Construction
▪️ GL/Negligence
▪️ Insurance Coverage
▪️ Employment
▪️ Commercial
As Chief Operating Officer, and subsequently as the Chief Legal Officer and Chief Risk Officer, whose responsibilities included complex contract drafting and negotiation, employment and HR oversight, risk management, insurance, claims, litigation management, and compliance, I have acquired a unique set of skills that, when combined with my other legal experience, allows me to understand the perspectives and risks that each party brings to a dispute and to then provide the parties with alternate pathways for the successful resolution of their disputes.
