Arbitration is less formal than going to court, and you may represent yourself. However, you should keep in mind that arbitration is a legal proceeding that results in an award that is generally final and binding. Because your legal rights are involved, you may choose to consult with and be represented by an attorney.
In simple terms, arbitration is the out-of-court resolution of a disagreement between two commercial parties decided by an impartial third party, the arbitrator.
A form of ADR, arbitration involves both parties presenting their case to a neutral third party (an arbitrator) who considers the issues and gives their decision (called an award). An arbitrator has the power to make a range of awards depending on the circumstances of the case. Awards may include: Monetary compensation.
The arbitrator listens to both sides, looks at the evidence you've sent in and decides what the outcome should be. In some cases, the arbitrator may choose to have several meetings with you both. When the arbitrator makes a decision, this is called an award and it's legally binding.
Settlement by agreement is the cheapest option and gives you the most control. Both mediation and arbitration are expensive, and arbitration is usually binding, so the ultimate decision is out of your control.
FINRA requires investors and other parties to file their arbitration claims via the DR Portal—except for investors representing themselves, who have the option to file by mail. If you are new to the DR Portal, please create an account. Login to the DR Portal and select “File a New Arbitration Claim” in the left column.
A claimant will typically start arbitration by sending a document known as a “request for arbitration” or a “notice to arbitrate” to its opponent.
Arbitration is an ADR process where the parties present arguments and evidence to an independent third party, the arbitrator, who makes a determination. Arbitration is particularly useful where the subject matter is highly technical, or where the parties seek greater confidentiality than in an open court.
There is a broad consensus that national courts of the arbitral seat have some kind of role to play during the pendency of an arbitration, though the exact contours of that role may differ from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that offers parties involved in a legal dispute an alternative to traditional courtroom litigation. Unlike litigation, where disputes are resolved in court, arbitration takes place in a private setting, typically chosen by the parties involved.
