Contracts & Commercial Disputes
Resolving Contract and Business Disputes Through Strategic Mediation
Contract disputes often strain business relationships and lead to drawn-out litigation. With almost 30 years as a business trial lawyer, I bring the clarity, preparation, and judgment needed to help parties move beyond deadlock. Whether it’s a breach of contract, a business split, or a disagreement over post-closing earnout terms, I provide an efficient and informed process to reach a resolution.
What I bring to the Mediation Table
Deep experience handling high-value contract disputes, including crossclaims and multi-party matters.
Litigation-tested understanding of indemnity clauses, earnouts, and complex deal structures.
Sensitive to the value of maintaining business relationships, I balance assertiveness with diplomacy.
A process grounded in preparation, allowing counsel to focus on strategy, not educating the mediator.
Mediation Is Especially Valuable When
A long-standing business partnership is dissolving, and reputations are at stake.
The cost of litigation is disproportionate to the value of the dispute.
Bankruptcy or insolvency introduces procedural complexity.
Parties want to resolve a dispute without destroying future business opportunities
