Should you use Mediation or Arbitration to resolve a dispute?

If you believe your claim or case can be settled with some help, you can consider requesting mediation. An impartial mediator helps both parties to reach a mutual agreement. In arbitration, an arbitrator reviews the evidence, hears from both parties and makes the legally binding decision. Appeals are possible but rare.

Why is traditional mediation or arbitration better than litigation?

  • Save weeks of time vs. litigation 8 months to 3+ years.
  • Save businesses and consumers up to 50% of the cost of litigation.
  • Alternative Dispute Resolution gaining in popularity vs. “going to court”.
