Former Jones Day partner and Hanify & King co-founder brings four decades of commercial dispute experience to the mediation panel.
John D. Hanify, a commercial litigator who co-founded Hanify & King and later led Jones Day's Boston litigation practice, has joined Signature Resolution's panel of neutrals as a mediator. The firm announced the appointment Monday.
Hanify will handle business and commercial disputes including shareholder litigation, financial institution matters, ERISA claims, and partnership conflicts. His career spans four decades, starting in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Massachusetts. He co-founded Hanify & King in 1980 and built it into a 40-lawyer firm with offices in Boston, Washington, D.C., and New York City before moving to Jones Day.
"John brings a commanding understanding of commercial litigation and a steadfast commitment to finding the resolution that actually serves all parties," said Dario Higuchi, founder and CEO of Signature Resolution.
Hanify teaches mediation and dispute resolution at Boston College Law School and has lectured in negotiation programs at the National Institute of Trial Attorneys. He has been recognized by Chambers USA, Best Lawyers in America, and Massachusetts Super Lawyers.
Signature Resolution was founded in 2017 and operates offices across California. Its panel includes former judges and trial attorneys covering civil practice areas.
