Top Questions about Utah Arbitration and Mediation

Arbitration is a process in which a neutral third party makes a binding decision to resolve a dispute, while mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral third party helps the disputing parties reach a mutually agreed-upon resolution.

In Utah, the outcome of arbitration is usually legally binding, as agreed upon by the parties involved. On the other hand, mediation does not result in a legally binding decision unless the parties reach a mutually agreed-upon settlement that they choose to make legally binding.

Arbitration and mediation in Utah are commonly used to resolve various types of disputes including commercial/business disputes, labor and employment conflicts, family law issues, personal injury claims, and even disputes in the construction industry.

In Utah, parties usually have the freedom to choose their arbitrator or mediator. They can either agree on a specific individual or select from a list of qualified professionals provided by arbitration and mediation organizations or associations.

Arbitration and mediation offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, confidentiality, faster resolution compared to court proceedings, flexibility in choosing the resolution process, and the ability to have a say in the outcome of the dispute.
