Ideally, any problem could be resolved without having to drag both parties into court. Settlement options, as well as arbitration and mediation, offer attractive alternatives to traditional litigation. These methods typically result in a faster and more cost-effective resolution than going to trial. Arbitration allows both parties to present evidence and make their case before an arbitrator, rather than a judge, who then considers each side before making a ruling. Although many forms of arbitration are binding, it is important to note that not all arbitrations are binding. Mediation, on the other hand, is more similar to a negotiation between the parties, with a neutral mediator acting as a third-party. While mediation may be a quicker and cheaper alternative, it is important to note that it is not binding. When the parties are unable to reach an agreement through mediation or arbitration, they can still seek to resolve their issues through litigation.
