Specializing in Commercial Arbitration and Mediation
Hoffmann ADR provides alternative dispute resolution services involving business and investment issues. My practice is focused on pre-litigation and court-ordered mediation and arbitration through the American Arbitration Association, FINRA, or through private arrangements. I have had over ten years of experience in the arbitration and mediation of complex business litigation, with particular emphasis on the following:
-
Commercial Contract and Business Torts
All business disputes involve contracts and commercial transactions — alternative dispute resolution tools are designed to assist businesses in resolving these complex matters.
-
Franchise and Licensing
Mediation and arbitration of franchise and license disputes are often required by contract and provide the most efficient means of resolving these matters while protecting franchise and licensing rights.
-
Securities and Investment Disputes
Business investments involving securities and unregistered transactions, partnerships, fraud, and misrepresentation are difficult, highly complex matters — managing outcomes through mediation and arbitration leads to better, more efficient, and predictable outcomes.
-
Intellectual Property
Resolution of copyright, trademark, patent, and trade secret disputes is best accomplished within the confines of mediation and arbitration — these issues are particularly complex and subject to wide variation in litigation.
-
Business “Divorce” and Business Ownership Disputes
When business owners have difficulty with each other and their roles within the company, alternative dispute resolution tools provide a route to a solution while maintaining the integrity, operations, and profitability of the business.

Business/Consumer Conflict
Alternative dispute resolution is the preferred method to work out conflicts between a business and its consumers. It remains the most cost-efficient and equitable means to solve consumer issues.
