JOSEPH E. RILEY  

One of the most important characteristics of any arbitrator appointed in a given case is the extent to which that arbitrator is generally familiar with the milieu in which the underlying dispute has arisen. Law and evidence are critical, of course, but both are typically drenched in circumstances that are peculiar to a defined physical or business context and one or more (and sometimes conflicting) social and / or business cultures.

 

These realities greatly influenced Mr. Riley's decision to become an arbitrator. Given the depth and breadth of his experience in domestic and international litigation and in all manner of domestic and international negotiations, business  endeavors and  risks, he can offer disputants his subject matter, legal and cultural familiarity across a broad array of domestic and international matters. To assist you in making your own assessment of Mr. Riley's suitability as an arbitrator for your dispute, the following list illustrates the subject matters in which Mr. Riley has developed such familiarity, and in many cases expertise. Of course, this is "checklist" information, so you are encouraged to contact Mr. Riley directly to explore any entries below that may be of interest to you.
