BRIAN P. BATTAGLIA

As a Florida Supreme Court Certified Circuit Court Mediator since 1995, I have mediated cases, served as an arbitrator, and taught mediation, arbitration and negotiation. Importantly, my over 35 years of experience representing clients in litigation dealing with complex disputes has provided me with the insights, experience, and the wisdom that comes with that experience, which I will use to assist the parties and their counsel before and during mediation.

I have seen first-hand how the stress and expense of litigation can impact clients. I recall early in my career successfully arguing a case before the Supreme Court of Florida, almost nine years after the suit was filed in the circuit court. However, with our robust dispute resolution process today, parties involved in protracted and expensive disputes or lawsuits now an off-ramp available to assist them in resolving the dispute or lawsuit.

My extensive litigation experience in both state and federal court has provided me with unique perspectives on the value of mediation and other dispute resolution procedures, whether in pre-litigation or after a suit has been filed.
