Attorney Peter Contuzzi is the mediator that New England lawyers have entrusted with thousands of their most important cases since 1984. His mediated negotiation process has been specifically designed for civil cases involving high stakes, complex issues or multiple parties. Its guiding principle is to maximize the parties' control over the resolution of their dispute and improve the quality of the decisions they make.

In addition to mediation, Attorney Contuzzi also provides arbitration services for those who prefer a binding process. He has been selected by his peers for multiple year listings in The Best Lawyers in America.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:

As I did 12 years ago, I will be taking some sabbatical time abroad in the fall of 2009 and spring of 2010.  My case coordinator, Kathleen Gauger, will be scheduling cases for the winter and summer calendar dates listed at our Scheduling page.  If you have questions, she can be emailed at kwesthampton@aol.com.  To contact me during this time regarding something urgent, you can email me at pc@contuzzi.com, and I will respond as soon as I can.

In addition to some research & writing projects, I will be doing some teaching at the law school of the University of Florence, Italy.   I’ll also be spending time in other Mediterranean countries with my violin continuing some interesting music projects (see FiddlingAround.net) that began during the youthful travels which resulted in my becoming a mediator.  As before, I will take this break from my normal routine to reflect more deeply on what I have learned from several decades of experience as a mediator & arbitrator in order to further improve the services that I offer to my colleagues and clients.
