I am an MC3-certified mediator and sit on panels for court-annexed mediation in New York and Massachusetts. I am also a seasoned litigator with significant in-house experience and a focus on media, technology, and intellectual property. For over twenty years, I have represented plaintiffs and defendants in the video game, digital media, software, cryptocurrency, and consumer electronics industries--among many others. In addition to “meat and potatoes” complex commercial litigation (breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, partnership disputes, etc.), I frequently litigate disputes involving copyright and trademark infringement, defamation, misappropriation of trade secrets, and unfair competition. I also have significant experience defending national law firms against legal malpractice claims.

I bring an integrated approach to mediation, applying facilitative, evaluative, narrative, and transformative techniques as the situation requires. Although commercial matters most often lend themselves to a facilitiative/evaluative approach, I do not discount the importance of emotions and relationships in resolving complex disputes.
