Biography |
In addition to her judicial clerkships at the Central District of California and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, complex litigation work, and extensive ADR experiences, Jill Sperber’s business and legal acumen coupled with her tenacity and thoughtfulness have established her in the alternative dispute resolution arena.
Ms. Sperber quickly comprehends and analyzes complex legal issues and intricate business considerations. She poses deliberative and challenging questions to both sides on all aspects of a dispute in her search for an equitable resolution. Ms. Sperber has a unique talent for connecting with individuals, entities, and counsel on matters of all complexity. Her focus and creativity, combined with her understanding of the ADR process, enable her to engage the parties in the ADR process and test the opportunities for resolution.
Ms. Sperber is significantly involved in both pre and post ADR session efforts, including designing the protocols and structure for the process. Not only does she carefully review the materials in preparation for each ADR session, she frequently works with the parties, and as appropriate, their insurers, in advance on critical issues to ensure that their in-person ADR session will be conducted as efficiently and effectively as possible. Where matters do not resolve during the scheduled ADR session, Ms. Sperber tenaciously conducts ADR follow-up work, continuing the mediation process with telephonic caucus sessions, and when appropriate, working with the parties in connection with mediator recommendations. |
