Biographical Notes:

Christopher M. Shulman has mediated in excess of 1200 disputes and served as arbitrator, hearing officer, or decision-writer in approximately 800 matters.

An alumnus of Stetson University College of Law, Chris spent the first approximately 10 years of his practice representing individuals, labor unions, and employers in connection with a variety of statutory, contractual, and common-law employment law claims. He also handled general practice, business, and personal injury matters for individuals. He is a member of the Florida Bar and admitted to practice before the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit and the U.S. District Courts for the Middle and Southern Districts of Florida. From 1995 to 2001, Chris mediated on and off, but, since January 2002, Chris has limited his practice to service as a neutral dispute resolution professional.

A Diplomate and 2005-2006 Board Member of the Florida Academy of Professional Mediators, Chris Shulman is a certified Florida Circuit and County Court Mediator, a Florida Court-Appointed Arbitrator, an NASD Public Arbitrator (and qualified NASD Arbitration Panel Chairperson), an EEOC Mediator, an AAA Employment Mediator and Arbitrator (he also is a member of the AAA Large and Complex Case ("LCC") panel of arbitrators), a Florida Hurricane Mediation Mediator, a Federal Court Mediator and a Primary Circuit Civil and County Mediator Trainer. Between service as a mediator, arbitrator, hearing officer, and federal-sector EEO complaint adjudicator, Chris has resolved — or, in the case of mediation, helped the parties resolve — more than 1600 matters. He is also a member of the Association for Conflict Resolution, ACR-Florida (where he has served as President), and the Hillsborough County Bar Association ADR Committee (he was co-Chair from 2004-2006).

Chris is an Adjunct Professor at Stetson University College of Law. He is also a Senior Adjunct Instructor at Keller Graduate School of Management's Tampa campus, where he has taught Business Law and Ethics, Employment Law, and Negotiations Skills since 1999.
