Scott Rein offers a unique approach to mediating complex commercial cases offering creative but practical solutions to conflicts based on his 18 years of business experience as an executive and his 15 years of negotiating and litigating business disputes as an attorney, arbitrator, and mediator. Rein’s problem solving approach relies equally on a background as outside general counsel to small and large companies and lead trial lawyer in multimillion dollar arbitrations and court cases, as well as managing companies in the US and China and navigating the politics involved in the Olympic Games as the official provider to the US athletes in the 2008 Games. The result is a commitment to a transparent process on dispute resolution that yields business solutions even in seemingly intractable situations.
