New York, New York – Arbitration is a dispute resolution process that takes place outside of a courtroom. The arbitrator serves as the neutral third party who listens to the arguments and see evidence on both sides. After all the testimony is presented, the arbitrator makes a determination about what a fair settlement in the case will be. The process is a fast one, making it more convenient and less expensive than a drawn out court trial. Arbitration is often the process used for businesses while mediation is the preferred method of dispute resolution in civil and family cases. Steven A.

Not only are more businesses making the choice for arbitration instead of litigation, courts are also recommending or ordering it as a means to resolve disputes before cases advance to court. The privacy that accompanies mediation and arbitration is also more appealing to individuals and businesses alike. Unlike a typical courtroom setting, these dispute processes include the arbitrator or mediator and those individuals involved in the dispute. There are not records of the evidence or testimony that can be accessed directly by others and the entire issue is kept confidential. For businesses that rely on their reputation for success, this is a big advantage over court.
