Strategic Arbitrator Selection: Arbitration outcomes often hinge on arbitrator selection and procedural determinations. Our team navigates these critical early decisions with strategic insight, working to secure favorable panel composition and procedural rules that serve your interests. We research arbitrator backgrounds, decision patterns where available, and expertise to optimize selection strategies.

Procedural Strategy: Unlike court litigation, arbitration procedures are often negotiable and can be tailored to case-specific needs. We work strategically to establish discovery parameters, hearing schedules, and evidentiary rules that maximize our clients’ advantages while controlling costs and timeline.

Efficient, Focused Advocacy: Arbitration typically offers streamlined procedures with limited discovery. Our attorneys excel in this condensed environment, focusing on the most impactful evidence and arguments while maintaining the thoroughness that complex disputes demand. We develop concise, compelling presentations that resonate with sophisticated arbitrators.

Written Advocacy Excellence: Despite the emphasis on hearing presentations, written submissions remain crucial in arbitration. Our briefs and memoranda are crafted with the precision and persuasiveness that have become our hallmark, effectively framing issues and advancing your position before the arbitration panel.

Hearing Preparation and Presentation: Arbitration hearings require different skills than jury trials, focusing on legal argument and technical evidence rather than emotional appeals. We prepare compelling opening statements, conduct focused witness examinations, and deliver powerful closing arguments tailored to arbitrator decision-making processes.

Industry-Specific Expertise: Many arbitrations involve specialized industry knowledge or technical considerations. Our attorneys develop the substantive expertise needed to effectively present complex industry concepts to arbitrators, translating technical matters into clear, persuasive arguments.

Discovery Management: Arbitration discovery is typically more limited than court litigation, requiring strategic choices about essential evidence and cost-effective investigation. We pursue strategic discovery that targets essential evidence without unnecessary expense while ensuring adequate case development.

Expert Witness Coordination: Arbitrators often appreciate technical expertise and industry knowledge. We work with qualified experts to present complex evidence clearly and persuasively, ensuring that technical concepts are effectively communicated to the arbitration panel.

Cost Management: Arbitration can offer cost advantages through streamlined procedures, but costs can escalate quickly with complex discovery and expert testimony. We work with clients to develop cost-effective strategies that achieve case objectives while controlling expenses.

Enforcement and Collection: Arbitration awards require different enforcement procedures than court judgments. We handle post-award proceedings including confirmation, enforcement, and collection of arbitration awards through appropriate legal mechanisms.

Appeal and Challenge Rights: Arbitration awards have limited appeal rights compared to court judgments. We advise clients on the scope of potential challenges and handle post-award proceedings when grounds exist for vacating or modifying awards.

Our comprehensive approach to arbitration combines legal expertise with practical business understanding, ensuring that your interests are protected regardless of the dispute resolution forum required by your agreements.
