Faculty Announcement – Victoria Pynchon
Victoria is an attorney-mediator with experience in complex commercial litigation and trial advocacy. She will teach a course called 'The Art of the Deposition' at Solo Practice University®.
After a 25-year career in complex commercial litigation and trial work, Victoria Pynchon, author of the Settle It Now Negotiation Blog, and IP ADR blog became a full-time attorney-mediator. Ms. Pynchon received her LL.M. in Conflict Resolution from the prestigious Straus Institute in Malibu, California and her law degree, Order of the Coif, from University of California at Davis King Hall School of Law.
Ms. Pynchon mediates the same type of complex commercial cases she litigated for more than a quarter century with such firms as the Philadelphia-based Pepper Hamilton; the Los Angeles-based Buchalter Nemer and the San Francisco-based Hancock, Rothert & Bunshoft (recently merged with Duane Morris). She is a neutral for the Southern California ADR firm, Judicate West and serves as a mediator on her own specialty ADR panel, Settle It Now Dispute Resolution Services.
Ms. Pynchon's broad business background gives her commercial mediation practice unusual depth in industry practices, management and finance. She spent her commercial litigation career litigating "bet the company" antitrust, unfair competition, intellectual property and insurance coverage actions. She has also prosecuted and defended nationwide consumer class actions and litigated securities fraud and professional liability actions.

I’ve had the pleasure of following Victoria on Twitter for a while now (and recently had an extended conversation on the phone with her), her knowledge is going to be a great addition to the faculty of SPU!!
Victoria — Welcome to the faculty of SPU. Great to see you here and I too look forward to what you will be offering.
Vickie, I am so glad you are going to share you vast experience with the students at Solo Practice University.
Of course, at some point in the future Vickie will also be teaching negotiation.
And the bonus, like many of the faculty announced (or to be announced), Vickie is extremely generous with her expertise and one of the most genuine and warm-hearted individuals I have ever talked with.
Thanks for being on board!
