Mediation

Amin (“A-meen”) Danai, J.D., is a full-time mediator. He mediates in person across the Commonwealth and by Zoom, handling civil disputes across numerous practice areas including:

  • Business/Commercial

  • Employment

  • Personal Injury

  • Professional Liability

  • Real Estate

  • Securities

  • Trust and Probate

Whatever the nature of the case, Amin brings his experience of managing difficult relationship dynamics and mastering the intricacies of complex disputes.  In addition to mediating civil disputes, Amin also helps organizations. He has served as a neutral between organizations wishing to negotiate joint ventures, and he has facilitated sensitive discussions within organizations.

Amin joined TMG’s roster of neutrals in 2022. Before transitioning to mediation full time, he practiced law at Ropes & Gray LLP for nine years. His interest in mediation developed while at Ropes & Gray. After completing his initial mediation training and mediating disputes in court, Amin took a hiatus from Ropes & Gray for an intensive mediation program at TMG. He learned from Brad Honoroff while working with him on over a hundred complex cases, and also worked with many other prominent Boston mediators. This rare experience exposed Amin to many different mediation styles and enabled him to learn what works and what doesn’t. He draws from that experience to tailor his approach to the case at hand. References are available from attorneys who have mediated with Amin.

Amin is a graduate of St. Lawrence University, magna cum laude, and Boston University School of Law, summa cum laude. Before law school, Amin served under AmeriCorps in a legal aid office in Worcester. He grew up in western Massachusetts and lives there now with his wife and daughter. He’s an avid golfer, squash player, mountain biker, and alpine skier.
