Niki has over 25 years of experience on the plaintiffs’ side and defense side, in complex litigation notice and claims administration, and for the past 6 years as a mediator, arbitrator, and special master with Phillips ADR. She is one of several handpicked protégés of Judge Layn Phillips, Phillips ADR’s founder. Niki is a skilled practitioner of Judge Phillips’ process, having co-mediated hundreds of cases with him, and she now leverages his novel best practices and tradecraft in mediations she leads. Her experience and knowledge gained from decades litigating and serving as a third-party neutral administrator has made her uniquely qualified in the special master roles she’s served in courts throughout the country during the litigation and mediation process.
