Description of Practice
I specialize in mediating disputes between franchisors and franchisees. As a franchise lawyer with more than 30 years experience in helping to resolve disputes among franchisors and franchisees, I believe that mediation is very well suited to resolution of franchise disputes.

JAMS and American Arbitration Association trained in mediation.
Experience
Have served as mediator of franchise disputes involving all aspects of franchising; have served as mediator of disputes among groups of franchisees; have served as mediator of other commercial disputes not involving franchising, including partnership disputes
