Anthony C. Adamopoulos started his dispute resolution career in 1991 when six attorneys called him from outside of a judge’s lobby. “Our trial begins Monday and the judge said we should mediate. We don’t want to offend the judge. Will you hold a mediation session with us before Monday?” The case settled and Tony was asked to do more mediations. He wasn’t totally without mediation experience. As a trial attorney, he had considerable experience in negotiating and mediating. He had also graduated from a week-long workshop taught by Professor Roger Fisher at Harvard Law School’s Program on Negotiation.

Since then, he has continued to do trial work and has expanded his dispute resolution activities. He is a graduate of the Mediation Workshop at Harvard Law School and has completed Advanced Mediation Training at the Center for Dispute Settlement in Washington, D.C. He successfully completed the International Arbitration Training Course of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators/American Arbitration Association.

His arbitration experience ranges from family disputes to tort matters involving million dollar claims.

He has taught dispute resolution techniques to bar associations and other professional groups. In 1995, the International Center for the Resolution of Intellectual Property Disputes (a United Nations agency located in Geneva, Switerland) added Tony to its list of qualified arbitrators and mediators.

Since 1996, he has been a Senior Trainer for The Negotiation Skills Company. As a Senior Trainer, he has trained future dispute resolvers in the United States and in Europe.

In addition to his work in dispute resolution, Mr. Adamopoulos has an active practice in divorce law.
