Biography

Lori Adelson is one of South Florida’s premier mediators in workplace conflicts, labor, and employment, civil rights, commercial, contract, consumer and business disputes. She has an extensive background serving as litigation counsel with substantial transactional employment, business, commercial, and contract experience, and is experienced in class action and multi-party disputes.

Ms. Adelson practiced law at a large New York firm before relocating to Florida. Ms. Adelson is a graduate of the University of Michigan and received her JD from Hofstra University Law School. With more than 20 years of successfully litigating employment, civil rights, labor, and business issues, Ms. Adelson, owner of APPROVED DISPUTE RESOLUTION, brings her vast experience and skills to her mediation practice. Ms. Adelson is a Florida Supreme Court Certified Civil Circuit, County Appellate, and Federal Court Certified mediator, Florida Supreme Court Qualified, AAA panel arbitrator and mediator, and neutral fact-finder in the areas of labor, employment, workplace, human resources, consumer, civil rights, public sector, business, and contract disputes.

Well-versed in the concerns of both plaintiffs and defendants, Ms. Adelson is especially effective with hostile and litigious parties because of her more than 20 years of litigation and trial experience as a lawyer handling employment law, discrimination, civil rights, labor law and business dispute cases. She is known for her creative thinking, attention to detail, thoughtful approach to emotion-laden disputes, and demeanor conducive to settlement, and has a proven track record of negotiating and resolving these types of cases.

It is Ms. Adelson’s mission to help people engage constructively in all phases of the conflict process and navigate conflict successfully, through mediation, and arbitration. Ms. Adelson’s mediations take place in a variety of contexts, from pre-litigation to pending litigations at the inception of suit, just prior to or after a dispositive motion, on the eve of trial or pending post-trial motions or while on appeal, as well as pursuant to pre-dispute contractual mediation/arbitration agreements.
