What has led to you having a successful practice as both a mediator

and an arbitrator?

Before becoming a full-time neutral, my litigation practice spanned various practice areas, including business/commercial, employment, entertainment, financial services and intellectual property. During my time in private practice, I represented both defendants and plaintiffs, which allowed me to understand the concerns and issues facing all parties. Focusing on complex industries with many different players, such as finance, insurance, media, real estate and technology, has led to numerous business relationships that have allowed me to build local and national practices as a mediator and arbitrator. This unique experience has led to my selection as a mediator or arbitrator on various disputes across the United States and Puerto Rico.

Critical to the continued growth and success of my practice is my ability to connect with parties via a thorough understanding of the merits of their case, while also effectively addressing and managing the emotions involved. I am always focused on the human element that is involved in resolving disputes, which can make the difference between reaching settlement on amicable terms and participating in a long and drawn-out litigation process.
