Because Allan is limiting his mediation and arbitration practice to cases that are exclusively within his area of expertise,

• YOU get a Board Certified Labor and Employment Law expert.
• YOU get a specialist in labor and employment law with 44+ years of experience exclusively in that field.
• YOU get a neutral whose awards and recognition in his specialty of labor and employment law by Chambers, Best Lawyers, Lawdragon, HR Executive, Super Lawyers and others speak volumes about his place as a preeminent lawyer in his chosen field.
• YOU get a neutral whose niche as a labor and employment law mediator and arbitrator assures you that he knows as much about the law in your case as you do.

Because of Allan’s vast experience in settling cases even before they become lawsuits,

• YOU get a mediator whose niche-within-a-niche is high-profile pre-suit mediation where Allan’s expertise is exactly what is needed when an employer is staring down the barrel of a public relations nightmare and the employee is about to pull the trigger on career suicide if a lawsuit is filed.

Because Allan is taking only one case per week,

• YOU get a mediator who is focused the day before your case in his strategy development to facilitate and encourage communications so that your case settles.
• YOU get a mediator who will stay all night to settle your case because he’s not worried about another case the next day.
• YOU get a mediator whose schedule allows him to book back-to-back mediation and arbitration dates in the same week without a cancellation fee if you don’t need the second day.
• YOU get a mediator who will schedule sessions on nights and weekends because Allan is not tied to a traditional workweek calendar.
• YOU get an arbitrator who has the time to issue arbitration awards on an expedited basis.

As an employee’s attorney,

• YOU get a former Proskauer partner in the mediation caucus room with the defendant doing what Allan has done for 44+ years: helping employers come to the realization that settlement is their best option.

As an employer’s attorney,

• YOU get a mediator whose Board certified expertise, his awards and his recognition as a preeminent practitioner will make it difficult for employees to ignore Allan’s serving as their agent of reality.

Because Allan is not interested in serving as a mediator in cases where one of the parties is looking for free pre-trial discovery or where the parties want Allan to impasse their court-ordered mediation so that they can check off that box,

• YOU get a mediator who is interested only in cases where the parties and their attorneys are willing to work as hard as Allan to get a settlement.

And, because Allan is also an arbitrator,

• YOU get a mediator whose facilitation of your settlement communications is guided by his being the decision-maker in cases with similar facts and common legal issues.
