I am pleased to report that Business Conflict Management has been the subject of two valued instances of recognition.
First, I am pleased to advise that I am the honoree of the James B. Boskey Award as “2018 ADR Practitioner of the Year.” The Dispute Resolution Section of the New Jersey State Bar Association presents the Boskey Award annually to a practitioner in recognition of achievements in (1) informing and educating the public about Alternative and Complementary Dispute Resolution techniques; (2) encouraging and promoting reform and modernization of our legal system; (3) improving the relationship between the legal profession and the general public; (4) exemplifying the goals and purposes of the Dispute Resolution Section; and (5) service to the residents of the State of New Jersey. The Award is widely recognized as the highest honor that an individual can achieve in the development and practice of ADR in New Jersey. I am very grateful to the Section, to the Bar Association, and to my colleagues for this distinction.
The 2018 “Mediation” issue of Who’s Who Legal has also designated me as among 24 “Leading Individuals” in Canada and the USA, as a result of “nominations from peers, corporate counsel and other market sources this year.” The editors noted that I was considered “a standout practitioner who is a well-respected authority on conflict management, especially in the case of franchise, employment and insurance disputes.”
Again, I am very grateful to those who expressed such confidence and I hope to continue to serve both clients and the field.
