Professional Mandates
Over the course of my career, I've been involved in a number of major insurance and construction disputes. The fact that I've had the opportunity to represent clients, professionals, specialized contractors and subcontractors gives me a good understanding of the issues at stake for each of these players in a project.
I've also advised my clients on contract drafting, and my training as an accredited mediator gives me additional tools to help find the best possible solution for the clients I represent, within the framework of the various private dispute prevention and resolution methods, as well as in out-of-court settlement conferences.
