The Hon. Ned M. Rosenberg, J.S.C. (Ret.), concentrates his practice in alternative dispute resolution, providing mediation and arbitration services informed by more than a decade of experience on the Superior Court of New Jersey and more than three decades in private practice.

He serves as a private mediator and is qualified as a federal mediator and a mediator in New Jersey’s statewide mediation programs for civil, general equity and probate matters. Judge Rosenberg also serves on the commercial, consumer and family panels of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) for both arbitration and mediation.

Before his judicial appointment, Judge Rosenberg spent more than 30 years in private practice, including as a shareholder of Simon, Sarver & Rosenberg, P.A. Following his retirement from the bench, he served as Of Counsel to Trenk, DiPasquale, Della Fera & Sodano, P.C., from 2016 to 2018, and subsequently joined Lentz & Gengaro LLP.

Judge Rosenberg has been active in New Jersey’s legal community throughout his career.
