More About Arbitration

In Arbitration, Haas ADR offers both institutional and ad hoc formats. Parties may invoke standard rules (AAA, JAMS, ICC, etc.) or proceed with a self-administered (ad hoc) Arbitration. Arbitration can be binding (the arbitrator’s award is final and enforceable) or non-binding (the arbitrator issues a recommendation). In practice, most business contracts require binding Arbitration to avoid lengthy court battles. We also offer accelerated and streamlined Arbitration procedures when disputes demand swift action. The parties work with the arbitrator to tailor procedures – setting schedules, discovery limits or special handling of technical evidence as needed. Every Arbitration is confidential – all testimony, documents and the final award are kept private unless the parties agree otherwise.
