Understanding Arbitration: When It’s Required, How It Works, and the Pros and Cons

I was sworn in as the 2026 President of the Santa Clara County Bar Association — an organization that has profoundly shaped my development as an attorney. The SCCBA has connected me with exceptional mentors, colleagues, and opportunities for professional growth throughout my career.


Now I have the privilege of leading this vital organization for the next year, and I'm energized about the work ahead. We'll continue strengthening our legal community, supporting our members, and advancing the quality of legal services in Santa Clara County.


If you're an attorney in Santa Clara County or interested in the work local bar associations do, I invite you to follow along. I'll be sharing updates about our initiatives and progress throughout the year.


Thank you for your continued support. Here's to making 2026 a year of meaningful impact for our legal community.
