Mark J. Bunim Publishes an Arbitration Primer for Litigators in the NYLitigator

The Commercial and Federal Litigation Section of the New York State Bar Association has published “A Primer for Attorneys Who Are Retained To Represent Clients in an Arbitration” by Mark J. Bunim in the October issue of the NYLitigator (Vol. 31, No. 2, pp. 10–13). 

Written for seasoned trial lawyers facing their first arbitration, the piece sets out 27 practical points drawn from more than two decades on the arbitrator’s side of the table — among them why pleadings carry more weight than in court, why an ESI protocol has to be negotiated rather than assumed, how the hundred-mile limit constrains hearing subpoenas, the cost differences among general, hybrid, and fully reasoned awards, and why a final award is not self-executing. 

Bunim arbitrates and mediates business disputes and insurance coverage matters from his New York practice at Case Closure, LLC.
