Craig Nierman helps attorneys and their clients win through mediation and arbitration without bias or “number carrying.”. Experience. An “AV” rated, 25-year litigation veteran, Craig has substantial experience on both sides of the “v” through jury and bench trials, injunctive relief, arbitrations, and appeals. Clients have included:. Individuals, businesses, and carriers in insurance cases including first party (e.g., health, property, life, “no fault,” etc.), third party (e.g., wrongful death, professional negligence, property, injury, etc.), extracontractual damages, agent/broker errors and omissions, and subrogation claims.Businesses, non-profits, people, and government agencies in a variety of commercial tort, contract, employment, banking, debt, corporate governance, and acquisition matters, as well as real estate development, sale, and leasing issues; andPatients, insurers, public and private hospitals, and other providers in healthcare cases such as professional and products liability claims, reimbursement and revenue cycle issues (e.g., payer contracting as well as questions of experimental treatment and medical necessity), primary and secondary payor conflicts, and HIPAA compliance.. Mediation. Craig walks in understanding the case’s unique contours and applying them to his decades of trial experience.. He is not a “number carrier” or bully. Instead, he knows the verdicts and law, gives frank feedback, and lets the parties evaluate their risks.. Craig’s credibility, established through helping both plaintiffs and defendants, enables him to connect in all rooms. Clients feel heard as he listens to their story and perspective. He persists—for months if necessary—to get the deal done.. Arbitration. Arbitration should be faster, less expensive, and at least as fair as trial. However, too often, it turns out to be a drawn-out process involving escalating arbitrator fees and murky awards.. Craig’s focus is on remembering that he works for the parties (not the other way around).. His cross-party expertise in insurance, business, torts, and healthcare law enables him to fairly identify the salient issues. His decisions are well-reasoned and based solely on the evidence and law.. Recommendations. What people are saying:. Mr. Nierman does an extraordinary job…Based off of my experience with working with Mr. Nierman during these mediations, he is right up there with the best of the best.– J.D., Illinois Attorney. He does not quit. One of the best I have ever worked with.– M.M., Iowa Litigant. Craig went above and beyond to shepherd the parties to a resolution and early settlement in this case. When the parties stalled out several hours into the scheduled mediation, he did not give up and continued to mediate between the parties separately until we got it done.– J.G., Florida Attorney. Thought Leadership. Craig has published multiple articles on psychological aspects of mediation as well as insurance arbitration (the American Bar Association recently published his papers on applying empirical research to negotiations and how virtual mediation poses unique challenges for trust formation). The business law textbook he co-authored is in its third edition.. Personal. Craig married his high school sweetheart; they have two adult children and a grandchild. He values time with his family and friends, learning new things, and adventuring, especially kayaking.

MEDIATION/ARBITRATION: While I love the practice of law, I see how litigation causes havoc in the lives of people involved in a lawsuit as well as major disruption in any organization named in a lawsuit. Even the winners in litigation are sometimes unhappy with the time and expense involved with a lawsuit, much less the losers in the case. Back in 2006, after 20 years of representing mostly defendants, I wondered whether there was a better way to resolve disputes. I can tell you now--there is--alternative dispute resolution (ADR) which includes arbitration and mediation. I have moved my practice to focus exclusively on ADR and I truly enjoy what I do. That in turn, means I do an excellent job for the people and attorneys who hire me. With respect to arbitrations, I have arbitrated million dollar claims and can offer quick turn-around and resolute attention to the dispute.. In mediation, I have turned seemingly intractable parties around, brought them to the table and found a solution that everyone can live with. I would be pleased to bring my calm demeanor, professionalism and the wisdom I have gained through hundreds of mediations to your dispute. I have mediated real estate, employment, intellectual property, licensing, leasing and commercial disputes and am proud to boast that I mediated the first mortgage foreclosure cases in Madison County and St. Louis County pursuant to the mediation programs put in place to combat the foreclosure crisis.
