NewsFebruary 23, 2021

Lankler Siffert & Wohl LLP is delighted to announce that our founding partner John Siffert has been admitted  to the American Arbitration Association Roster of Arbitrators.   

John’s appointment to the AAA Roster follows decades of experience litigating complex commercial matters and conducting arbitrations as panel chair and wing. For the last six years, he has presided as Special Master in a Title VII class action where he has recommended over two thousand backpay and pension awards, all of which have been entered by the SDNY District Judge.

The American Arbitration Association -International Centre for Dispute Resolution  is the largest private global provider of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) services in the world. As a not-for-profit organization,  the AAA aims to move complex cases through arbitration fairly and cost effectively, with the goal of getting parties back to business as soon as possible. As the AAA notes, its “Roster of Arbitrators and Mediators is composed of distinguished former judges and leaders in the legal and business communities with industry-specific knowledge and expertise.”

John and LSW look forward to the arbitrations ahead.
