Nicole Torrado

Nicole Torrado is an experienced employment mediator who brings over 20 years of

sophisticated legal practice to dispute resolution. Her career spans diverse roles in employment

law from serving as Interim General Counsel for a global 900-employee organization to

defending Fortune 100 companies in complex employment litigation to prosecuting on behalf of

vulnerable populations. This breadth of experience provides her with deep understanding of

organizational priorities, legal strategy, and the human element that drives every workplace

dispute.

As in-house counsel managing legal matters across 45 states, Nicole developed deep

understanding of how employment decisions impact operations, culture, and the bottom line.

She knows what keeps executives up at night and how organizations evaluate risk. Her years in

defense litigation taught her the strategic calculus that drives case resolution and settlement

negotiations. Her prosecution experience working with crime victims and vulnerable populations

developed her ability to connect with people facing traumatic situations building the trust and

rapport essential to effective mediation. People find her to be genuine, transparent, and

trustworthy, particularly in high-stakes, emotionally charged disputes.

Nicole now dedicates her practice exclusively to neutral services through Torrado Resolutions,

specializing in employment mediation. She handles the full range of employment disputes

including discrimination, harassment, retaliation, wrongful termination, accommodation failures,

wage and hour matters, and multi-party workplace conflicts.

What distinguishes Nicole is her practical, business-minded approach combined with genuine

empathy for all parties. She understands the high stakes employment disputes carry for both

organizations and individuals, and she's committed to helping parties move forward with

solutions that preserve dignity, provide clarity, and restore confidence.
