About

Mr. Stern has been inducted as an Emeritus/Lifetime Achievement Fellow of The American College of Civil Trial Mediators.

Having joined The Mediation Group in 2015, Mr. Stern is celebrating 10 years with the Group.  Founded in 1985, The Mediation Group began with the idea of taking a caring, interdisciplinary approach to conflict resolution.

Previously, Mr. Stern was with the distinguished Boston litigation firm of Sugarman, Rogers, Barshak & Cohen, P.C. for his entire career, and a partner from 1977 to 2014.   While continuing to practice law at Sugarman Rogers, he devoted increasing time to the practice of alternative dispute resolution with the firm.  He has served as a mediator and arbitrator for more than 30 years, initially through the Middlesex Multidoor Courthouse, a court-annexed program of the Superior Court of Middlesex County. He has also conducted mediations and arbitrations under the auspices of other organizations. His mediation practice focuses on a wide variety of business disputes, as well as personal injury, including in particular cases of factual complexity arising from product liability, medical malpractice and/or insurance coverage issues.

Background

Unlike many members of the American College, Mr. Stern continued to work actively as a trial lawyer, in a wide variety of civil litigation, until his retirement from law practice in 2014.  He has been a frequent lecturer on both ADR and trial practice topics. He also has been a guest lecturer on mediation at Harvard, Boston College, Boston University and Northeastern law schools.
