Arbitration

 

Sometimes reasonable people disagree. However, enlightened owners and contractors have learned that even if mediation does not succeed in resolving all of their disagreements, disputes can be contained and resolved through other ADR options such as arbitration. Arbitration is a way of securing a fair and final dispute resolution.
