Arbitrators

MCLA’s arbitration program features a select panel of accomplished legal professionals recognized for their depth of experience, integrity, and neutrality. Our arbitrators are carefully vetted and meet the highest standards for adjudicating civil disputes with fairness and efficiency.

Each arbitrator has extensive experience, most with decades of practice in complex litigation or specialized fields, and is committed to providing a professional, impartial process that leads to binding, enforceable resolutions. 

Zoom Proficiency for Online Dispute Resolution

Certified Zoom Proficiency for Virtual Mediation
MCLA is proud to be one of the few Civil Mediation Resource Vendors authorized by the Los Angeles Superior Court to provide remote mediation services. As a center that operates exclusively online, we ensure that every mediator on our panel is fully trained and proficient in using Zoom to facilitate smooth, secure, and professional virtual mediations.

Setting the Standard for Virtual Mediation
All MCLA mediators complete a comprehensive onboarding process that includes training in the key Zoom tools necessary for effective online mediation. This includes:

  • Managing breakout rooms for private caucuses
  • Utilizing screen sharing for document review
  • Navigating platform features to maintain confidentiality and efficiency

Why Zoom Proficiency Matters
Not all mediators are equipped with the technical skills needed to lead virtual sessions effectively. At MCLA, we prioritize both legal expertise and tech readiness to ensure a seamless experience for clients and counsel.

By working with an MCLA panel mediator, parties can be confident that their mediator is not only legally experienced, but also fully capable of conducting high-quality, confidential mediations in a remote setting—anywhere in California.
