Alternative dispute resolution can be used to resolve disputes in a timely, affordable, and private manner as opposed to going through an extensive legal process. As both an arbitrator and mediator, I have been instrumental in resolving highly complex and significant financial, commercial, and civil disputes, frequently with millions of dollars at stake. As a Mediator I make every effort to learn about both sides as well as the nature of the dispute. This information allows me to assist the parties to craft a solution which puts them in a position to move ahead with their personal and commercial interests.
