About Timothy Alger

After 34 years as a trial lawyer including leadership roles at Google and equity partnerships at Gibson Dunn, Quinn Emanuel, and Perkins Coie, I now dedicate my practice exclusively to mediation and arbitration through Alger Resolutions and the American Arbitration Association.What I Bring to Dispute Resolution:My unique perspective combines C-suite experience directing Google's worldwide litigation strategy with decades of first-chair trial experience representing both plaintiffs and defendants. This dual lens—understanding disputes from both the client and advocate perspective—enables me to quickly identify paths to resolution that others might miss.Core Practice Areas: - Technology & IP Disputes: Patents, trademarks, copyrights, platform liability, privacy, online speech - Commercial Litigation: Complex contracts, business transactions, partnership disputes - Cannabis Industry: One of the few neutrals with deep expertise in cannabis litigation - Media & First Amendment: Lead counsel in landmark Ninth Circuit cases shaping internet lawWhy Parties Choose Me: - Proven Problem-Solver: Known for creative approaches that move parties beyond impasse - Efficiency Focus: I believe mediation and streamlined arbitration deliver better outcomes than costly, protracted litigation - Elite Experience: Former Deputy General Counsel at Google managing global litigation, employment, and IP portfolios - Accessibility: Full-time availability with offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Santa Barbara, plus nationwide virtual capabilityProfessional Recognition: - American Arbitration Association National Roster of Arbitrators and Mediators - Federal and state court mediation panels throughout California - Two watershed Ninth Circuit decisions on Communications Decency Act - Award-winning journalist before law career, bringing exceptional communication skillsThe Bottom Line:I help sophisticated parties resolve high-stakes disputes efficiently and fairly. My goal in mediation is practical resolution. In arbitration, I provide thorough consideration and prompt decisions. After decades in the trenches of complex litigation, I understand what drives disputes—and what resolves them.You can always contact me directly at tim@algeradr.comFor scheduling and other questions, please contact my dedicated case manager, Kathryn MacDonald, at kathryn@algeradr.com or 805-245-8215.
