ADRsource proudly announces that mediator Maureen Deskins has joined the firm's distinguished panel. Prior to joining the firm, Ms. Deskins was a member of KD Mediation and has significant experience, mediating a broad range of cases including personal injury, commercial, and employment matters.
Prior to becoming a mediator, Ms. Deskins was a trial lawyer as both plaintiff and defense counsel. She also served as corporate counsel for the largest privately held hospitality company in North America, with hotels, restaurants, and retail properties in the United States and Canada. In that role, Ms. Deskins advised company leadership on corporate matters, litigated and managed outside counsel, all of which solidified her strong belief in the value of mediation and self-determination.
According to firm managing-partner, Richard Lord, "Maureen brings a wealth of experience gained through representing plaintiffs and defendants. Her in-house experience dealing with corporate matters and management of outside counsel helps her see and appreciate risk analysis, the value of collaborative problem solving, and the pitfalls of adjudication." Co-founder Scott Baughan added that "Maureen brings a lot of varied experience together for those who hire her to mediate. She works hard, listens to all perspectives, and helps participants understand one another. That is what parties want from a mediator and makes Maureen effective."
