• Efficiency: Arbitration is generally faster than litigation, with less time spent on discovery and hearings, on average from filing to conclusion arbitrations are completed in 7 to 9 months.
• Cost: Arbitration can be less expensive than protracted litigation and often involves fewer procedural steps.
• Confidentiality: Arbitrations are private, there are no public court hearings or searchable court dockets, which can be important for employees seeking jobs in the future and businesses with sensitive matters like trade secrets and intellectual property.
• Flexibility: Parties are able to exercise control over the process, including choosing an arbitrator, venue and cooperation on scheduling.
• Neutrality: The parties choose their arbitrator rather than a court system assigning a judge.
• Subject Matter Expertise: In choosing arbitration the parties are able to assure that the person deciding the matter will have specific expertise relevant to the dispute, ensuring a more streamlined, cost effective, informed decision.
• Finality Without Appeal: Arbitration awards are generally the final and binding resolution of a dispute, there is no automatic right to appeal and there are only extremely limited circumstances under which a party can challenge an arbitration award in court.

By utilizing the services of a trained Arbitrator who is well versed in employment law, the Parties are able to gain assistance from a neutral third party who does not have to learn new laws.
