Arthur Siegel obtained a B.A. degree from Miami University in Oxford , Ohio in 1973, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of San Francisco School of Law in 1976. After an internship at the EEOC's regional litigation center in San Francisco , Mr. Siegel was admitted to practice in 1976. In 1977, he was retained to manage the litigation of numerous individual and class discrimination claims against the trucking industry, its trade organizations and union entities. In 1978, he started a private litigation practice in San Francisco specializing in employment matters. He has handled court trials, jury trials, arbitrations, administrative hearings, as well as severance negotiations for his clients.

Siegel lectures to community and legal organizations in the areas of mediation and employment law. Since 1995, he has served as a mediator and neutral evaluator in employment disputes, both privately and for state and federal courts in the San Francisco Bay Area. He has an AV rating from Martindale-Hubbell. His mediation is generally facilitative, but his extensive background in employment law and civil litigation permits a more evaluative process where that is called for.

In addition to many private mediations, Siegel has served as a mediator for The Bar Association of San Francisco, the San Francisco Superior Court, the Santa Clara County Superior Court and as a mediator and early neutral evaluator for the United States District Court, Northern District of California. He is also a member of the mediation panel for the Alameda County Superior Court and has conducted mediations and arbitrations in that program.
