Signature Resolution, an alternative dispute resolution company in California, announced that aviation law attorney Roger W. Clark is joining the team. Clark brings 44 years of experience to the company and a vision to establish a national aviation practice in the field of mediation. His expertise in this area and his forbearing approach to mediation allow him to serve as an ideal decision-maker and advocate for bringing parties together. Clark prioritizes patience in his mediation approach, according to the firm. Initially, he acts as a facilitator, helping parties come to reasonable understandings, and then transitions into an evaluator, weighing the strengths and weaknesses of cases and educating all parties about the risks and uncertainties associated with the appropriate outcomes.
