Experienced mediating employment related disputes such as employment discrimination (e.g., sexual harassment, race discrimination, age discrimination, gender discrimination, etc.), retaliation claims, hostile work environment, internal grievances, and commercial/business contract disputes. Experience also includes seminar presentations of mediation techniques to human resources representatives.
Experience includes mediating disputes involving employment discrimination and personnel issues such as sexual harassment, discharge, discipline, compensation, faculty tenure, conflict resolution in the workplace, hostile work environment, racial harassment, promotion, transfer, and business disputes.
Almost every case or dispute can be amicably resolved if the parties maintain an open mind and commit to working hard to arrive at a resolution. When a party's perspective initially is not conducive to a successful mediation, I attempt to sensitize the party to the risks of continuing the dispute, as well as to the immediate benefits derived from a prompt resolution. I am not just a "messenger." Instead, I take an active role in assisting the parties to acquire realistic expectations and to gain a better appreciation of the strengths and weaknesses of their litigation positions. I believe that my 35 plus years as an advocate/litigator provides a perspective that is of substantial value to the parties in this process.
