Arbitration and mediation are forms of alternative dispute resolution (ADR). It can possibly be a faster and less expensive way to resolve a civil or commercial dispute. Arbitration or mediation may offer more privacy regarding the facts of the case compared to a civil litigation in court. Because most arbitration hearings lead to a binding resolution (meaning that it is enforceable in court and cannot be overturned without proving extraordinary circumstances) it is important to have an attorney there to represent you.
