Companies choosing arbitration as an alternative to litigation experience many benefits including:
- Speed and efficiency
Arbitration is designed to be faster than courtroom litigation.
- Ability to choose the arbitrator
Unlike judges, arbitrators are not assigned. Counsel can select the arbitrator whose experience most closely aligns with the pending matter.
- Ability to structure the arbitration process
Arbitration can be customized to accommodate the unique needs (e.g., location, time constraints, discovery, etc.) of the parties.
- Confidentiality
Arbitration is a private process. The proceedings and the result are not open to public review.
- Informality
Arbitration is a more casual process than litigation, allowing for a quicker resolution and a greater potential for the parties to continue to work together.
- Finality
With few exceptions, the decision of the arbitrator is final. Parties can contract for appeals to another arbitrator
