To date, the firm’s diverse practice includes the successful prosecution and defense of matters in the following areas:

Alternative Dispute Resolution

The Firm has handled numerous arbitration proceedings to conclusion through final hearing before arbitration panels and sole neutrals under the auspices of the American Arbitration Association, JAMS, the American Health Lawyers Association ADR Service and other ADR organizations. The Firm’s lawyers are well-versed in the Federal Arbitration Act and comparable state statutes, and the legal principles governing the scope and conduct of arbitration proceedings and the enforcement of arbitration awards.
