Interested parties should not rely on this website as a complete or updated source of disclosure information about Ted. For any arbitration in which Ted is nominated or appointed as arbitrator, it is his practice to notify the parties of any potential or actual sources of conflicts of interest of which he is (or becomes) aware. Ted likewise requests that any parties to an arbitration in which he is nominated or appointed as arbitrator promptly disclose any facts or circumstances considered relevant to his impartiality or independence as soon as that information is reasonably available and undertake a reasonable continuing search of publicly available information after learning of Ted’s prospective appointment.
Ted no longer has any affiliation of any kind with the law firms where he previously worked, nor does he have ongoing access to the client databases of those firms.
While Ted is a member of numerous organizations and attends numerous conferences and events in the arbitration field, he does not maintain records of fellow members, speakers or participants. Nor does Ted monitor contact lists on LinkedIn and similar social media sites. In any event, such connections are not considered to be relationships that might affect impartiality or independence in the eyes of a reasonable third party.
