Arbitration And Litigation - Litigation is the process of resolving disputes through the formal court system, usually at the state or local level. Arbitration, on the other hand, is where the parties agree in advance, often within a contract, to avoid traditional courts. Instead, they select a single arbitrator or panel of arbitrators to review the dispute privately. While arbitration is sometimes perceived as more affordable than litigation, this isn’t necessarily always the case. Costs can easily pile up, especially if the arbitration award must be converted into a court judgment to be enforceable. In these circumstances, your case would end up requiring the involvement of the court system anyway.
