Arbitration Representation

Arbitration has become a widely used alternative to traditional court litigation, offering a faster, more flexible, and often more predictable process for resolving disputes. At Acarkan Law, we understand the unique procedures, evidentiary requirements, and strategic considerations involved in arbitration. Whether your arbitration arises under a commercial contract, partnership agreement, employment matter, real estate transaction, or an industry-specific arbitration clause, we deliver focused advocacy tailored to the distinct dynamics of the arbitration forum.

We represent clients before major arbitration bodies—including the American Arbitration Association (AAA), JAMS, FINRA, and private contractual arbitrators—as well as in ad hoc arbitrations governed by negotiated rules. Our approach emphasizes thorough preparation, persuasive presentation, and a deep understanding of both the legal and practical factors that influence arbitrators’ decision-making. From drafting arbitration demands and defending against claims to presenting evidence, examining witnesses, and preparing post-hearing briefs, we handle every stage of the process with precision.

Arbitration preparation often requires specialized strategy. We analyze arbitration agreements, determine enforceability issues, evaluate the scope of arbitrable claims, and assess the procedural rules governing your matter. Our firm works to identify key facts, build compelling arguments, and leverage the advantages of arbitration—such as limited discovery and streamlined hearings—to achieve favorable results. When settlement becomes possible, we negotiate effectively with an understanding of how arbitration outcomes may influence the parties’ positions.

In addition to representing clients in arbitration hearings, we assist with enforcement or challenge of arbitration awards in court. Arbitration determinations can require judicial confirmation or, in rare circumstances, may be subject to vacatur or modification. We handle these post-arbitration proceedings to ensure that your rights are fully upheld and that the arbitration outcome is properly implemented.
