Bruce Edwards was one of the pioneers in developing mediation as a tool for resolving commercial disputes. A pro fessional mediator since 1985, Bruce has helped mediation gain widespread a cceptance in the United States legal system as an alternative to often cost ly and time-consuming litigation.
Over the last 30 years, Bruce has m ediated over 7,000 disputes throughout the United States and the world. The se disputes range from “simple” two-party conflicts to more complex conflic ts with upwards of more than 80 parties.

In addition to using mediation to solve real-world problems, Bruce has dev oted a substantial amount of time sharing his practical knowledge with othe rs, both domestically and abroad.
