Many commercial, employment and healthcare agreements send disputes to arbitration or require mediation first. Success depends on understanding the clause, the administering body's rules and the forum before filing anything.

We represent claimants and respondents in matters including:

• Motions to compel or to avoid arbitration

• AAA, JAMS and other institutional arbitrations

• Emergency arbitrator and interim relief

• Mediation and settlement negotiations

• Confirming, vacating and enforcing awards

We prepare every arbitration as if it will be decided on the record, and we keep settlement options open throughout.
