01 — What lands here

The matters counsel bring to this page.

  • Disputes between a company and its vendors, insurers, or partners about who bore which security obligation.

  • Matters where causation depends on forensic evidence — logs, images, and timelines — rather than on testimony.

  • Proceedings that need confidentiality as a matter of course, which is a common reason parties choose arbitration at all.

02 — Fit

What counsel can verify before naming him.

  • Daniel B. Garrie is a neutral — mediator, arbitrator, and discovery referee — in 1,000+ disputes over the past 20 years.
  • He is the founder of Law & Forensics, a global cybersecurity, e-discovery, and forensic-investigations practice.
  • He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Law & Cyber Warfare and a Ponemon Fellow of the Ponemon Institute.
  • He served as Special Master in In re: Facebook, Inc. Consumer Privacy User Profile Litigation.
  • He sits as a JAMS Neutral, serves on the panel of the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, and is admitted to the LCIA, HKIAC, and CPR.

Every line above is checkable against Daniel's JAMS profile, the source of record for his neutral practice, and is set out in full on the about page.

03 — How parties name him

By mutual consent, not by appointment.

Daniel B. Garrie is not on the AAA National Roster of Arbitrators. Under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules, parties are not confined to that roster: by mutual consent they may designate any qualified neutral, and the AAA administers the matter under its Rules, subject to its standard disclosure and confirmation process. The clause and stipulation page carries ready-to-adapt language for both a pending matter and a new agreement.

aaaarbitrator.com is an independent resource about arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the American Arbitration Association or the ICDR. “AAA” and “American Arbitration Association” are used to identify the institution and its published rules.

04 — Before you decide

The guides counsel read first.

The full guide library covers how AAA arbitration works, what it costs, how long it takes, and how awards are enforced.

05 — Other dispute types

All five are listed on the arbitrator overview.

Availability

Considering Daniel for this matter?

The inquiry form asks for the role you are in, the amount in controversy, and the hearing window — enough for Sonya to answer on availability and conflicts in one reply rather than three.
