WSMB's attorneys have extensive experience in arbitration, mediation, and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. Our primary focus is always on reaching the most effective and cost-efficient outcome for our clients, and we use our decades of experience to find the right solution for every matter we handle. Our attorneys have handled arbitrations and mediations in such tribunals as the AAA, FINRA, ICSID, JAMS, the CPR Institute, and the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, as well as in state and federal courts and the International Court of Justice in The Hague. In addition to our advocacy skills, we can also offer the perspective that comes from having functioned in the mediator's role. For more than 15 years, Usher Winslett has served as a court-appointed mediator in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, assisting parties in resolving a wide variety of disputes. We also regularly assist clients in resolving disputes through direct private negotiations and court-supervised settlement sessions.
