Craig mediates a wide variety of active and pre-litigation disputes, including those involving issues of business, commercial and contract law, complex personal injury and/or product liability, labor and employment, environmental law, professional liability, and civil rights. He believes in the magic of mediation, but he also understands that the magic can’t happen without thorough preparation and an approach that is tailored specifically to the needs of the parties and their respective counsel.

Craig regularly serves as an arbitrator in commercial disputes and other complex cases. He is keenly familiar with the myriad rules and laws that govern arbitral proceedings, but he also understands that arbitrations need to be administered and decided in way that reflects the fundamental purpose of alternative dispute resolution: to provide the participants with a private, expedient and cost-effective way to resolve cases, thereby avoiding some of the inefficiencies inherent in traditional litigation.

Craig is a nationally recognized trial lawyer, and he continues to handle active litigation matters for select clients. He also consults regularly with other trial lawyers, business lawyers, in-house counsel, corporate executives and other non-lawyers on litigation strategy, tactics, evaluation, settlement and related issues. His lengthy and wide-ranging experience as an advocate and a neutral make him an ideal source for solid and cost-effective second opinions or other advice in complex cases.

As a former BigLaw ethics and loss prevention partner, Craig has significant expertise in many legal ethics and professional conduct issues, including conflicts of interest, UPL and other compliance matters, business intake, joint representation, client confidentiality, litigation finance, and professional liability defense. He continues to consult with, and provide advice to, lawyers, law firms, litigation funders and others on such issues. He also regularly serves as an expert witness in related cases.
