DAVID McCORMACK
I have mediated over 750 cases and arbitrated over 30 cases. The majority of the mediations and arbitrations have been either employment/labor cases or commercial/corporate cases.
The employment/labor cases have involved a variety of claims, including allegations of race discrimination, sex discrimination, age discrimination, violation of the ADA, violation of the FMLA, sexual and other unlawful harassment, retaliation, retaliatory discharge in violation of public policy, breach of contract, wrongful termination, violation of the FLSA (including collective actions) and state wage payment statutes, as well as non-compete and other restrictive covenant claims and various tort claims, such as defamation and assault and battery.
The commercial/corporate cases have involved patent/copyright infringement, breach of commercial contracts, breach of fiduciary duties, business torts, various corporate disputes and breach of franchise agreements.
I have also presented on ADR topics at South Carolina Bar Association CLE programs and at the Joint Meeting of the Labor and Employment Law Sections of the South Carolina and North Carolina Bar Associations.
