Matt Adler, a partner in Troutman Pepper Locke’s Business Litigation Practice Group, was quoted in the February 26, 2026 Law360 article, “Manifest Disregard Remains Source of Consternation for Now.”

  • “What I think is unbelievably irresponsible is that on one of the most important issues in arbitration — which quite simply is, what are the grounds for challenging an arbitration award. That comes up every time someone loses … This is not some technicality. This is something that a fourth-grader could understand — that the court has twice left it unresolved as to whether manifest disregard exists or doesn’t exist as an additional independent ground for appeal,” said Troutman Pepper Locke LLP partner Matthew H. Adler.
