Alireza Alivandivafa Joins AAA’s National Roster of Arbitrators

Los Angeles, CA — Alireza Alivandivafa, a highly respected California attorney with over 17 years of legal experience, has been appointed to the American Arbitration Association’s (AAA) National Roster of Arbitrators. This distinction reflects his deep skill in mediation, negotiation, and dispute resolution across a range of high-stakes matters.

The AAA-ICDR (American Arbitration Association-International Centre for Dispute Resolution) is a global leader in alternative dispute resolution. Its roster includes professionals vetted for legal expertise, neutrality, and the ability to manage complex disputes. Founded in 1926, the AAA has long set the standard for ethical, efficient, and fair dispute resolution in the U.S. and around the world. Its neutrality, strong ethical code, and commitment to due process were key reasons Alivandivafa chose to serve with the AAA.

Alivandivafa meets the organization’s high standards with a strong background in employment law, civil rights, personal injury, and aviation litigation. His decade-long practice as a plaintiffs' trial attorney gives him a critical edge in understanding party dynamics, legal strategy, and procedural fairness. He now applies this experience as a neutral mediator and arbitrator in both in-person mediation and virtual formats throughout California.

Importantly, Alivandivafa’s inclusion in the AAA’s national roster is a positive for the entire employment bar. Many arbitration panels are historically populated by retired judges or defense lawyers, which can create a perceived imbalance in neutrality. Alivandivafa’s appointment and trust by the AAA offers all sides a true neutral and arbitrator with an understanding of the field. 

Alireza Alivandivafa is also a licensed pilot with over 1,000 flight hours—bringing rare technical insight to aviation-related mediation and arbitration cases involving regulatory compliance, cross-border transactions, and aircraft operations.

Key qualifications include:

• Nearly 2 decades of focused litigation experience

• Advanced training in mediation and arbitration

• Member of multiple court mediation panels, including the Central District of California

• Super Lawyers recognition (2014–2025)

• Certificate in Dispute Resolution from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin

Alivandivafa provides mediation services in Los Angeles and San Diego, working with attorneys, in-house counsel, and private clients seeking efficient and fair dispute resolution. His appointment to the AAA underscores his reputation as a trusted neutral mediator and arbitrator capable of resolving emotionally charged and technically complex matters.
