Arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution method where a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator, hears both sides of a dispute and makes a binding or non-binding decision to resolve the issue. It is often faster and more cost-effective than going to court.

How is arbitration different from mediation?

While both are dispute resolution methods, arbitration involves a decision made by the arbitrator (which may be binding or non-binding), whereas mediation facilitates negotiations between parties to reach a mutually agreed solution, without the mediator making decisions.

What kinds of disputes can arbitration resolve?

Arbitration can resolve a wide variety of disputes, including commercial conflicts, consumer complaints, employment disagreements, contract issues, and more.

Is the arbitration process confidential?

Yes, arbitration is typically confidential. This means that proceedings, evidence, and outcomes are not disclosed publicly, allowing parties to maintain privacy.

Do I need an attorney for arbitration?

While having an attorney is not mandatory, legal representation can provide valuable guidance, ensure your rights are protected, and help present your case effectively during the arbitration process.

Who selects the arbitrator?

The arbitrator may be chosen jointly by the parties involved in the dispute, or appointed by an arbitration institution, depending on the terms of the arbitration agreement.

Is the arbitrator’s decision binding?

Arbitration decisions can be binding or non-binding, depending on the agreement between the parties. Binding decisions are enforceable and final, while non-binding decisions may serve as recommendations.

What are the benefits of arbitration compared to litigation?

Arbitration is typically faster, less expensive, and more private than traditional litigation. It also allows for more flexibility in scheduling and selecting an arbitrator with specialized expertise in the subject matter.

Can arbitration awards be appealed?

In general, binding arbitration awards cannot be appealed. However, exceptions may exist if there was misconduct, bias, or procedural errors during the arbitration process.

How long does the arbitration process take?

The length of the arbitration process can vary depending on the complexity of the dispute and the availability of parties and the arbitrator. It is generally quicker than litigation, often taking weeks to months instead of years.
