Jeremy S. Baker Appointed to AAA and ICDR Construction Arbitration Panels
We are proud to announce that our founding attorney, Jeremy S. Baker, was recently appointed to the Construction Arbitration Panels of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and the International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR), marking a significant milestone in the field of construction dispute resolution. If you are an architect, engineer, design builder, or developer facing arbitration, you understand how much is at stake when a neutral decision-maker evaluates your claims. An experienced lawyer could guide you through that process, helping you prepare your case with clarity and precision.
When you are involved in a complex construction dispute, arbitration often serves as an alternative to courtroom litigation. The quality and experience of the arbitrator may shape how efficiently your matter proceeds and how well technical project details are understood. This appointment reflects recognition within the construction arbitration community and underscores a deep familiarity with industry contracts and project delivery methods.
Appointment to National Construction Arbitration Panels
Jeremy’s addition to the Panel of Arbitrators of the American Arbitration Association is a professional distinction. As an arbitrator on this panel, one serves in a role similar to a private judge, reviewing evidence, hearing testimony, and issuing binding decisions in construction disputes.
This AAA construction arbitration panel includes neutrals with substantial experience in the building industry. If one participates in arbitration administered by the AAA, one’s dispute may be decided by someone who understands design agreements, scheduling issues, delay claims, and payment disputes from a practical standpoint.
What Does It Mean to Serve as an Arbitrator and Not a Mediator?
You may be familiar with mediation, where a neutral facilitates settlement discussions. Arbitration is different. As an AAA arbitrator, you do not broker a compromise; instead, you hear the case and issue a decision that resolves the dispute.
In construction arbitration proceedings, you evaluate contract provisions, change orders, expert testimony, and project documentation. The arbitrator weighs the evidence and determines which party prevails on specific claims.
Trusted Guidance in Construction Arbitration
Jeremy’s appointment to the AAA and ICDR Construction Arbitration Panels reflects not only professional recognition but also a continued commitment to excellence in construction law and dispute resolution. Whether serving as an advocate for clients or as a neutral decision-maker, Jeremy brings industry insight, careful analysis, and a practical understanding of complex construction projects to every matter.
