Frequently Asked Questions about Business Litigation

Q: How is arbitration different from mediation?

A: Mediation uses a neutral mediator to work with both parties. The mediator facilitates discussion and helps both parties work towards a consensus and a resolution that both sides can accept. In an arbitration, the neutral arbitrator hears both sides of an issue and makes a decision. Generally, the parties in an arbitration are bound to accept the arbitrator’s ruling.

Q: Is an arbitration or mediation always binding?

A: In an arbitration, the answer is usually yes. Often, the parties in an arbitration sign a legally binding agreement to abide by the arbitrator’s decision. If the parties in a mediation are dissatisfied with the result, they can set it aside and proceed to court.
