Mediator & Resolution Services Consultant, Iron Resolution Services, LLC
Cedar is the owner of Iron Resolution Services, LLC, a national mediation and resolution services provider with a special focus on trucking litigation. After serving at the highest levels of trucking company claims departments for a decade and having cultivated strong relationships with the plaintiffs’ bar, Cedar is uniquely positioned to facilitate negotiation informed by an understanding of and empathy for the challenges faced by both sides of a case.
Prior to launching Iron Resolution, Cedar served as Vice President of Claims & Litigation at Knight-Swift, the nation’s largest for hire motor carrier. She personally handled the most significant and complex matters for the organization on a national basis, and oversaw all major personal injury litigation. Before Knight-Swift, Cedar worked in the General Counsel’s office of Dart Transit Company, developing a broad appreciation of trucking as a profession and industry. During this time she obtained her CDL permit and completed over the road training, to better understand the practical realities of CDL drivers as they travel America’s roadways.
Before joining the trucking industry in 2014, Cedar carried a general commercial litigation practice for 5 years in solo practice and 6 years as a litigator with several BigLaw firms. Today she bases her mediation practice in the Dallas area, where she lives with her fiancé and two very spoiled dogs.
