In three separate cases, Denise Chanez and Patrick Coronel recently prevailed in the New Mexico Court of Appeals. In each of these cases involving skilled nursing and long-term care facilities, the New Mexico Court of Appeals reversed orders denying their clients’ motions to compel arbitration and enforced provisions that delegate the authority to decide challenges to arbitrability to an arbitrator. This was an excellent result for the clients and for the firm.
