Arbitration

Whitaker Chalk arbitration attorneys represent clients as parties in arbitrations and serve as arbitrators in other arbitrations, both domestic and international. Arbitration advocacy differs from trial advocacy, and we’re often involved in complex arbitrations involving large claims. Our experienced arbitration advocates provide you with valuable experience to help you achieve the best possible result.

Whitaker Chalk lawyers are members of arbitrator panels for most of the arbitral administrators in the U.S. as well as a number of international arbitral administrators.

We have extensive experience with the arbitration rules published by the American Arbitration Association, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution (CPR), the American Health Lawyers Association ADR Service, the London Court of International Arbitration, the ICC Court of International Arbitration and other arbitral institutions, both domestic and international.

Our arbitration attorneys are often asked to draft suitable and appropriate arbitration clauses to be included in various kinds of agreements. We also consult with and create employee dispute resolution and employee injury benefit plans for clients in many different industries and commercial activities.
