I have more than twenty years' experience representing both individual and multi-national clients in employment matters dealing with employment discrimination, restrictive covenants, deferred compensation plans, reductions in force, negotiation of severance agreements, and executive compensation issues. I regularly appear in employment disputes on behalf of securities industry professionals in FINRA and AAA arbitration regarding unpaid bonuses, promissory notes, and contractual disputes. I have also successfully resolved multi-million dollar commercial and employment disputes through effective litigation techniques in both federal and state court at the trial and appellate level.In addition to my litigation and arbitration experience, I am a trained mediator and collaboratively-trained professional, focused on providing my clients with a valuable alternative to litigation.I frequently write, lecture, and consult on employment law developments and dispute resolution techniques for both human resources professionals and business owners in the New York City metropolitan area. I also train attorneys domestically and internationally on Civil Collaborative Practice.
