He served for many years as the leader of the Construction and Dispute Resolution practices. Since his retirement, he has continued to be active, in addition to his practice as an arbitrator and mediator, as a researcher, writer, and speaker advocating the use of proactive dispute de-escalation and prevention practices in the construction industry and business in general. His most recent public service activity has been to support the work and results of the Global Pound Conference, whose worldwide participants overwhelmingly voted in 2017 that “pre-dispute and pre-escalation processes to prevent disputes” are the processes that should be prioritized to improve the future of commercial dispute resolution. He is currently compiling his lifetime writings on this subject into a book tentatively titled “Proactive Prevention Practices: Stopping Disputes Before They Happen.”
