As a result of his 37 years as a trial lawyer, practicing complex business litigation, Mr. Sander dives into each case so that he has an excellent understanding of the factual and legal issues. 

In arbitration cases, this allows him to effectively evaluate the merits of each parties' case and hone in on key issues.  The result is a thoughtful and reasoned decision, based on the facts and applicable law.

In mediation, Mr. Sander is not a "note passer" who simply communicates the respective parties' position on issues or settlement amounts.  To the contrary, Mr. Sander evaluates the merits of each parties' case and effectively communicates to the parties' their risks and likely range of outcomes if the case goes to trial.  Mr. Sander has found this approach to be much more effective and useful to the parties.
