Description
The Arbitration Agreement is a formal document used to resolve disputes through binding arbitration instead of court litigation, specifically tailored for New York. This form outlines the procedure for initiating arbitration, which can be initiated by either party through a written notice that describes the claim and requested remedy. Key features include the selection of a single independent arbitrator for disputes involving claims under a specified dollar amount and a requirement that arbitration fees and costs be decided by the arbitrator. It emphasizes the waiver of the right to a jury trial, illustrating the distinct differences between arbitration and court processes. For attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this form is crucial for ensuring that clients understand the arbitration process and their rights. Proper filling instructions dictate that all parties acknowledge receiving a copy of the agreement, making it binding. Additionally, specific use cases may include employment agreements, commercial disputes, and partnership agreements where arbitration is preferred to mitigate lengthy court proceedings.
