The primary focus of my boutique law practice is to help entrepreneurs,
professionals, and companies who have been stung personally, professionally,
and financially by a painful business dispute, often at the hands of a
partner, vendor, associate or other affiliate. 


My law practice is dedicated to resolving clients' business disputes
creatively through arbitration, mediation, or negotiation to achieve success
and peace of mind. I focus particular emphasis upon effective, responsive
communication with clients, helping to inform and guide them through the
often unfamiliar and confusing maze of business dispute resolution. 


I use Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR; principally arbitration and
mediation) processes to resolve business conflicts and disputes concerning
contracts, real estate, entity dissolution, franchising, unfair competition,
entertainment, and other substantive areas.  Clients include individuals in
business, entrepreneurs, and professionals; various types and sizes of
partnerships; limited liability companies (LLCs); closely-held corporations
(often family businesses); and publicly-traded companies.

On the matter of speaking engagements: I have made presentations before
business- and professionally-oriented groups (such as the NY State Society
of CPAs, networking groups, national and local Bar Associations,
business-oriented church and temple groups, the American Arbitration
Association, national trade associations, and others) on a number of topics,
mostly focusing upon protection of legal rights in business and the various
alternatives to judicial resolution of cases through litigation in court,
and law practice management (including legal marketing, rainmaking,
networking, and related topics). Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
includes arbitration, mediation, conciliation, early neutral evaluation, and
other binding and non-binding means of resolving disputes without resorting
to court. ADR is appropriate for many types of cases and clients, and is far
superior to court litigation in some instances (yet sometimes court remains
the only viable means of achieving the desired result). It is useful to
learn in advance about the differences and how you might best position
yourself and your business to take advantage of the opportunities ADR
presents (for example, through inclusion of a well-crafted clause in your
form contracts and/or individual contracts requiring disputes arising out of
the contract to be submitted for resolution by specified forms of ADR,
instead of court litigation). If you are responsible for arranging speakers
for such a group and feel that your group might be interested in this sort
of topic, please feel free to get in touch with me. 


Thanks,


David
