Neil Groberg and Mediation
Neil Groberg's career is dedicated to facilitating the resolution of disputes before they generate into litigation. With his understanding of the adverse impact litigation has on both employers and employees, it was only inevitable that he become a mediator and arbitrator.
While Neil still provides advocacy counseling dedicated to collaboration and facilitation of disputes, he also encourages parties to hire him as a neutral mediator, facilitator or arbitrator. He has extensive training and experience in "alternative dispute resolution" (ADR) both as an advocate, neutral facilitator, mediator and arbitrator.

- An arbitrator on behalf of the Better Business Bureau
- A facilitator (where he served as a mediator and arbitrator rolled into one) between the State of Connecticut and one of its major unions

- Neil has a Mediation Certificate from the University of Connecticut Labor Education Center
- He has completed Arbitration Training from the Alliance for Education in Dispute Resolution under the auspices of Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations
