MEMORANDUM OPINION
JAMES E. BOASBERG, District Judge.
Plaintiff Vigilant Insurance Company insured the property of the law firm Venable, LLP in the District of Columbia. After Defendant American Mechanical Services of Maryland, L.L.C. caused a fire that damaged that property, Vigilant paid Venable under the policy. Now subrogated to Venable’s rights, Vigilant brings the current action seeking to recoup from Defendant its payments to Venable. As Vigilant has ignored a mandatory arbitration clause in Venable’s contract with AMS, it cannot recover.
