Pointing to more than a decade of experience in resolving complex business disputes inside chambers through negotiation, newly retired Manhattan Supreme Court Commercial Division Justice Charles Ramos and his former law clerk have launched their own mediation and arbitration firm.

Ramos—who says he disposed of 14,000 matters, including 10,000 commercial cases, in a 35-year judicial career—and his former principal clerk view the firm as a means of continuing, and capitalizing on, a “tag-team” method developed over the years that they say efficiently helped many parties resolve long-lasting and expensive cases.
