His mediation practice specializes in cases involving: Consumer Torts, Unfair Business Practices, Professional Malpractice, Intellectual Property, Employment & Workplace Claims, Partnership Dissolution, Construction Defects, Real Estate Sales, Leasing & Development and many more.

Max became a full-time neutral after a legal career of more than three decades.
