No, you do not have to be represented by a lawyer in an arbitration proceeding. Under SMA rules, anyone who is duly authorized may act before the panel on the behalf of the claimant or respondent. However, if the other party employs an attorney in the arbitration, proceeding without counsel should be carefully considered.
