In this episode…
Our guest Erik Groothuis is a commercial litigation attorney and an expert on New York contract law and professional malpractice. Mr. Groothuis is an arbitrator for the American Arbitration Association and holds a JD from Harvard.
According to Mr. Groothuis, arbitration can be better than trials for presenting expert witness testimony. Party agreements, reports and even depositions can be skipped in favor of a more streamlined, direct approach as arbitrators can make real-time determinations without the need for delays and additional hearings.
Check out the entire episode for our discussion on the intangibles attorneys look for in experts, non-refundable retainers, and compartmentalizing being an attorney when working as an expert witness.
