In the past few decades, arbitration has become a mainstay in resolving legal disputes. Yet, finding a qualified arbitrator can be challenging and time consuming. HMAA seeks to simplify the process by gathering qualified arbitrators in one place. HMAA arbitrators are industry professions or legal experts who have spent their careers serving the maritime, oil & gas, energy and transportation industries. Moreover, each HMAA arbitrator has successfully completed HMAA’s Arbitrator Certification Course. You can review the specific expertise of each HMAA arbitrator by clicking Arbitrators Lookup on the right.
