MEDIATION ASSOCIATES

As to law, for almost a decade I served as Senior Attorney for Borg-Warner Acceptance Corporation, the wholly-owned financial services subsidiary of then Fortune-50 Borg-Warner Corporation. Most of my responsibilities centered around real estate, supervising in-house counsel and staff as well as locally retained counsel, advising and interfacing with senior management, negotiating and documenting sophisticated transactions, with primary concentration in the southern California area. I also handled issues with secured (UCC Article Nine) lending, pre-TEFRA equipment leasing and inventory floor planning retail financing. I was also responsible for selecting and managing retained counsel and interfacing with all decision makers, particularly in matters involving litigation in the state and federal courts in California.
