Philip Wild

I became a divorce mediator after going though my own painful, difficult and expensive divorce. I knew there had to be a better way. I decided to use my experience as a negotiator and contract attorney to serve people going through divorce -- to be the person I wished I had on my side when I was going through my own divorce. I trained at the Center for Mediation and Training in New York City and have spent years studying divorce law and practicing divorce mediation.  

My background is corporate, entertainment and contract law.  I held senior positions at major record labels (including Arista, Atlantic, Virgin, Capitol and Blue Note) where I negotiated thousands of deals.  I still work in the entertainment industry and have developed a "sub-specialty" handling divorces for performers, composers and entertainment executives. I bring a practical, business-oriented, yet compassionate, approach to divorce and divorce mediation.
