Avoiding Litigation with Arbitration

Litigation is expensive, public, and often can be prolonged for years with appeals. Increasingly, more parties with a dispute are turning to alternative dispute resolution to avoid litigation. One form of alternative dispute resolution is arbitration. Arbitration is a proceeding in which an impartial third party hears a dispute and reaches a final decision. Arbitration is most commonly used for commercial disputes.
