Civil Arbitration
Arbitration is a confidential process used to resolve civil disputes through a private, neutral arbitrator.
Arbitration is an alternative to litigating a matter in court that allows for more flexibility in terms of process and results in a final determination of the matter in the form of an arbitration award which has the same force and effect as a court order.
If you have a business, commercial or construction dispute and would like to consider arbitration please contact us for details.
