Arbitration
Arbitration is distinct from mediation. Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution in which the parties have agreed - either prior to the arbitration or by contract - to submit their dispute to an impartial arbitrator, who will render a binding decision concerning the dispute.
There can be both advantages and disadvantages to arbitration. The arbitrator may be an expert in the area of law involved in the dispute. The informalities of the arbitration may reduce costs when compared to traditional litigation. However, arbitration may also involve the waiver of important legal rights, may submit the parties to strange and unfamiliar procedural rules, and many of the important features of the normal rules of civil procedure will not apply.
Whether you are seeking representation in an arbitration, or are seeking to know whether you should (or must) participate in that process, the attorneys at HBHS can help you find the answers you need.
