More than 200 mediations since March 2009

I do not subscribe to a particular style of mediation. I deal with the disputants in the best way to result in a satisfactory outcome. That may require various approaches, even during different stages of the same mediation.

General Commercial, Franchise, Insurance/Reinsurance, Employment, police excessive force claims, cross-border disputes (including China), conflicts within religious communities

USD 450 per hour for commercial mediation (whether preparation or session -- no travel time charged) Other fee arrangements upon request Reimbursement for expenses reasonably and actually incurred
