The Philosophy of Creative Mediation

Successful mediation requires parties and counsel to be committed to the process. For more than three decades, and prior to earning an LLM in Alternative Dispute Resolution, Gerry represented parties in mediations and is, therefore, intimately familiar with the economic and emotional risk incumbent in all litigation. 

While counsel and the parties are expected to be strong advocates, Gerry is dedicated to lessening the parties’ exposure of both economic and emotional risk that is incumbent in all litigation. Gerry prides himself on the art of listening to the parties and counsel, enabling him to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of the various claims and defenses presented, with an eye toward avoiding impasse.
