Arbitration Services – Impartial and Effective Dispute Resolution

Arbitration is a key service offered by Conflict and Dispute Resolution Services of the Southwest, providing a formal yet flexible alternative to traditional court litigation. Our approach to arbitration brings disputing parties before a neutral third-party arbitrator who facilitates a fair and impartial resolution process.

Understanding the Arbitration Process

In arbitration, each party presents their information and facts to the arbitrator, who then evaluates both sides’ positions and makes a ruling or decision. This process mirrors a judge’s role in a courtroom but typically involves less restrictive rules and procedures, allowing for a more streamlined resolution.

Flexibility and Customization in Arbitration

Our arbitration services offer flexibility in how the process is conducted:

• Tailored Rules and Procedures: Parties can agree on specific rules to be used during the arbitration, deciding on the formality of the process.
• Preparation and Submission: Parties have the opportunity to prepare and submit their information and supporting documents in advance of the arbitration session.

Types of Arbitration: Binding and Non-Binding

We provide both binding and non-binding arbitration options:

• Non-Binding Arbitration: The arbitrator issues a ruling or recommendation, which parties can choose to adopt or reject.
• Binding Arbitration: The arbitrator’s ruling is final and conclusive, similar to a judge’s ruling in court. Parties agree on the confidentiality of the decision.

Benefits of Choosing Arbitration

Arbitration offers several advantages over court litigation:

• Efficiency: Faster resolution compared to traditional court processes.
• Control: More control over the proceedings and outcomes.
• Privacy: Arbitration can be confidential, maintaining privacy for all involved parties.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Generally more affordable than litigation.
