Princeton Dispute Resolution offers bespoke commercial mediation services tailored to the preferences of the parties and the particularities of their dispute.

Each mediation begins with a process design phase involving direct party input on the organization, structure, format, location and timing for the mediation, as well as the conduct of information exchange and oral presentations.

These inputs are then synthesized to produce a mediation framework that reflects the parties’ preferences and provides maximum opportunity for constructive dialogue and quality discussion.

In conducting the mediation, Melanie employs a combination of facilitative, evaluative and collaborative techniques, taking into consideration the elements of the dispute and the participation of the parties, their representatives and any third-party stakeholders.

Melanie is a member of the American Arbitration Association commercial and consumer arbitration panels, a FINRA arbitrator and a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators with experience serving as a sole, wing and chair arbitrator. Melanie is available to serve as a sole or panel arbitrator for ad hoc or institutional domestic and international commercial and civil proceedings.

Melanie brings high integrity, rigorous intellect and 35 years’ experience in financial services, complex commercial transactions and dispute resolution to each neutral evaluation and consulting engagement. Relatable, versatile and collaborative, Melanie welcomes all challenges, understanding the need for strict confidence.
