Commercial disputes have included generally breach of contract including breach of asset purchase agreements and franchise agreements.

My philosophy is to be proactive in the mediation process. This entails identifying the legal and factual issues; offering observations as to the strengths and weaknesses of those issues; and challenging the parties to think outside the box in fashioning acceptable remedies. It is rare that a settlement does not occur when this is done.
