Alternative Dispute Resolution

Fully conversant with the vast array of techniques that can be utilized in crafting an arbitration clause and aware of the pitfalls that each presents, we work proactively with clients to negotiate and draft the scope of arbitration and other ADR clauses that meet their needs. We are also experienced in litigating the scope, validity and enforceability of such clauses and have handled ADR proceedings involving a wide range of claims, including breach of contract, securities fraud, false advertising allegations, tort claims, intellectual property infringement, employment matters and many other issues.

Regarded as pre-eminent in the field of ADR, our team includes members of the Commercial Arbitration Panel of the American Arbitration Association (AAA); the AAA’s Large, Complex Commercial Case Panel and Commercial Mediation Panel; and the mediation panel of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Kramer Levin was a founding firm of the New York International Arbitration Center.
