Gunster is pleased to announce that shareholder William K. Hill has been selected as the American Arbitration Association (AAA) Rising Star Arbitrator for 2025. William received the honor at the AAA Panel Conference in Dallas. This recognition highlights William's exceptional skill in international arbitration, which has increasingly contributed to his success and reputation in the ADR legal community alongside his international and domestic litigation practice. The award was based largely on input from attorneys and parties who have appeared before in his cases, who rated him a perfect 5 on a scale of 1 to 5.
