Mediation Practice

​

I began mediating cases in 2005 while earning my LLM in Dispute Resolution at the Straus Institute at Pepperdine University School of Law. After completing my LLM, I led a corporate dispute resolution program, designing mediation strategies that streamlined case resolution and reduced litigation exposure. In 2015, I pioneered online mediation, integrating digital case management tools to enhance accessibility and efficiency.

​

Since 2017, I have worked as a full-time mediator, facilitating cases involving complex commercial, employment, entertainment, construction, real estate, and insurance disputes. My mediation practice emphasizes structured negotiation and procedural clarity, ensuring that parties can resolve disputes efficiently while maintaining control over the outcome.

​

I serve on several distinguished mediation panels, including:

• United Nations Global Mediation Panel

• National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals

• Panel of Distinguished Neutrals of CPR Dispute Resolution Services

• American Arbitration Association Mediation Panel

• Resolute Systems New York and National Mediation Panels

• United States District Court, Eastern District of New York

 

I have been recognized for my mediation work with the following honors:

• Appointed Special Master for the Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court, First Department (2022)

• Consistently listed as a top mediator by Who’s Who Legal: Mediation

• Certified by the New York State Unified Court System ADR Office to conduct mediator training programs

 

Arbitration Practice

​

As an arbitrator, I bring a disciplined case management approach, balancing procedural fairness with efficiency to deliver effective and enforceable outcomes.

 

I have served as tribunal chair, sole arbitrator, wing arbitrator, and emergency arbitrator in complex commercial, corporate, employment, and insurance disputes. My experience spans AAA, ICDR, CPR Institute-administered cases.
