Los Angeles Employment Mediator and Arbitrator Charles ("Chuck") Pereyra-Suarez
Both mediation and arbitration are well suited for the resolution of employment disputes. Typically confidential, mediation and arbitration can limit the expense of discovery and protect the reputations of all involved. Arbitration can shield parties from risk for punitive damages and promote a final resolution with only very limited appeal.
Over the course of his three decades of practice as a lawyer, mediator and arbitrator, Charles ("Chuck") Pereyra-Suarez has mediated and arbitrated employment law disputes including large and complex cases where substantial damages were at stake.
His work as an employment law attorney has involved a wide variety of employment and quasi employment-related disputes ranging from discrimination, whistleblower retaliation and wrongful termination to cases involving non-compete agreements.
He serves on the commercial, health care, and large complex case panels of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and has acted as an individual arbitrator and on three-arbitrator panels, including as chair. He has a nationwide practice that provides parties with mediation and arbitration services to resolve employment and quasi-employment disputes.

Experienced Mediation and Arbitration of Employment and Quasi-Employment Disputes
While many employment contracts and agreements require arbitration of all disputes, mediation and arbitration can be used to resolve disputes even in the absence of such a requirement. Both parties can agree to protect the confidentiality of the dispute, as well as any award that results from the arbitration, and pursue resolution outside of the courtroom.
Mediation and arbitration are effective, productive methods of resolving a wide variety of employer and employee disputes:
- Employment contracts
- Employee manuals
- Partnership agreements
- Shareholder agreements in limited liability companies or corporations
- Agreements involving professional partners in law firms or medical groups
- Agreements between Independent Physicians Associations (IPAs) and their management companies
- Independent contractor agreements
- Non-compete agreements
- Confidentiality agreements
Arbitration of Wrongful Termination or Constructive Termination Complaints
When the employment relationship is terminated, the employee or manager may claim that the termination was wrongful or not for cause. The employment contract may specify arbitration but if there was no contract or employee policy specifying arbitration, the case may be taken to court and the employee may be awarded punitive damages.
Whether you represent an employer or employee and are seeking an impartial mediator or arbitrator who understands employment law, Mr. Pereyra-Suarez has the experience and knowledge to meet your needs. Contact us to discuss arbitration of your dispute.
