Baker Law Group, LLC announced that Jeremy S. Baker has been appointed to the Panel of Arbitrators (Construction Industry Arbitration) of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and its International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR). The appointment places Baker on the AAA-ICDR roster of arbitrators available to serve in construction industry arbitration matters. Arbitrators serve a role similar to judges in private proceedings, hearing evidence and issuing binding decisions under applicable arbitration rules and agreements.
"I'm truly honored to join the AAA-ICDR's distinguished Construction Industry Panel of Arbitrators," Baker said. "This appointment reflects my deep commitment to fair and efficient resolution of complex construction disputes."
Baker advises clients across the design and construction industry and has served since 2015 as a Liaison to the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Contract Documents Committee, which develops and updates widely used construction contract forms. His work centers on construction contracts, project delivery methods, risk allocation, and dispute avoidance and resolution. This appointment underscores the importance of having experienced construction attorneys available to resolve disputes efficiently, which is critical for keeping projects on schedule and within budget. The AAA's panel includes only those with demonstrated expertise in construction law and arbitration, making Baker's selection a notable recognition of his qualifications.
Baker Law Group advises architects, engineers, developers, owners, and contractors in the design and construction industry, providing transactional counsel, dispute resolution, and general counsel services. The firm works with clients on contract negotiation, project delivery strategy, risk management, and early dispute resolution efforts intended to keep projects moving from planning through closeout. With this appointment, Baker can now serve as an arbitrator in construction disputes, offering parties a neutral decision-maker with deep industry knowledge. This is particularly significant in the construction industry, where disputes can delay projects and increase costs; having qualified arbitrators helps ensure timely and fair resolutions.
