Amanda M. Cooper

Amanda Cooper serves as Senior Manager of ADR Services & Operations at Approved Dispute Resolution, bringing more than twenty years of experience in the legal profession and a deep-rooted commitment to the dispute resolution community.

Her career has spanned nearly every facet of the legal system, from serving in both state and federal courts to working as a paralegal and ultimately leading operations, business development, and strategic growth initiatives within the ADR industry. This diverse background has given Amanda a unique perspective on the legal profession and the practical needs of attorneys, clients, mediators, and arbitrators alike.

A significant part of Amanda’s expertise stems from her experience operating within Florida’s uniquely sophisticated ADR environment. As one of the nation’s most established court-connected mediation systems, Florida’s dispute resolution framework requires a thorough understanding of procedural requirements, court expectations, and case management protocols. This experience has given Amanda a level of operational and industry knowledge that distinguishes her from many professionals working in ADR markets where mediation is less integrated into the judicial process.

Known for her strategic mindset, attention to detail, and relationship-driven approach, Amanda combines operational excellence with a genuine passion for supporting the professionals who help others resolve conflict. Her leadership is guided by a belief that exceptional service is built on trust, responsiveness, and systems that work seamlessly behind the scenes.

At Approved Dispute Resolution, Amanda oversees the firm’s operations and client services with a focus on delivering an experience that is efficient, professional, and aligned with the high standards of the neutrals the firm represents.
