Diane Levin is a dispute resolution professional in the U.S. in the Greater Boston area, and a principal of OptionBridge LLC, a full-service ADR firm headquartered in Concord, New Hampshire. Formerly an attorney practicing tort, labor/employment, and probate law, she now focuses full-time on providing alternatives to litigation.  Since 1995 she has helped clients resolve disputes involving tort, employment, business, estate, family, and real property issues, and serves on numerous mediation panels, including the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Training and coaching are an enduring passion -- she has taught thousands of people to resolve conflict, negotiate better, or become mediators -- from Croatian judges to Fortune 500 executives.

While real-world, in-person interactions are important to her work, the internet plays an integral role. Someone who actually builds web sites for fun, Diane serves as technology consultant to mediators and other service providers. She was one of the first people in the world to blog about ADR, and for three years has published the award-winning  MediationChannel.com.  She also tracks and catalogues ADR blogs world-wide at ADRblogs.com, where she has created a community for bloggers writing about constructive ways to resolve disputes.
