Arbitration

Arbitration is a widely used and trusted alternative to litigation in which the parties agree to submit their conflict to one or more neutral arbitrators, who render a decision. By selecting arbitration, parties choose a private, confidential, flexible, and efficient path to resolve disputes outside of court.

Why Choose Arbitration?

I offer decades of experience in arbitration. My practice is grounded in the fundamental principles that define effective arbitration:

• Voluntary & Consensual: Arbitration proceeds only with the agreement of all parties—typically through contractual provisions or mutual consent after a dispute arises.

• Party-Controlled Process: Parties have a say in selecting the arbitrator(s), shaping the process to fit their unique needs.

• Neutral & Impartial: I serve as an independent decision-maker with no vested interest in the outcome.

• Confidential: Proceedings are private, and confidentiality is preserved except in limited circumstances.

• Final and Enforceable: Arbitral awards are legally enforceable and are generally easier to enforce internationally than court judgments.

Evolving with Arbitration

Over the years, I have seen arbitration evolve. While it remains efficient in many cases, large-scale or multi-party arbitration can become complex—mirroring litigation with prolonged discovery, motion practice, and delays. In such matters, the arbitration can be divided into two distinct roles: a Process Arbitrator and a Substantive Arbitrator.

PROCESS ARBITRATOR - Keeping Proceedings On Track

As a Process Arbitrator, I manage procedural aspects such as:

• Discovery disputes

• Scheduling and timelines

• Pre-hearing motions

This role is key to maintaining efficiency, fairness, and momentum, avoiding procedural gridlock thereby allowing the substantive issues to be addressed without unnecessary delay.

​

With decades of national experience in litigation, arbitration, and mediation, I bring a deep understanding of arbitration rules, case management strategies, and procedural fairness. I resolve pre-hearing disputes efficiently maintaining neutrality while keeping the case on track.

SUBSTANTIVE ARBITRATOR - Delivering Clear, Fair Decisions

The Substantive Arbitrator is tasked with determining the outcome of the dispute based on the evidence and legal arguments presented. This role demands:

• Active engagement

• Legal expertise

• Analytical precision

• Balanced judgment

• Ability to deliver a clear, reasoned decision

My extensive nationwide work across a wide variety of arbitration matters has given me in-depth knowledge of the laws, regulations, and business practices that impact each case. I bring strong analytical skills, sound judgment, and clarity in decision-making—ensuring that all parties are heard and that awards are fair, final, and enforceable.

The Value I Bring - Experience. Fairness. Efficiency.
Whether serving as a Process Arbitrator or Substantive Arbitrator, Mediator or trusted guide through the arbitration process, I bring:

• A deep understanding of arbitration frameworks

• Strong case management and decision-making skills

• A commitment to neutrality, professionalism, and resolution
