Arbitration

Arbitration is an alternative to employment litigation for resolving disputes between employers and employees. It is generally cheaper and faster than regular litigation, and arbitrators can often provide desirable expertise on the disputed issues. Although different from litigation, arbitration should not be undertaken without the assistance of a qualified attorney.

Employees may arbitrate disputes for many reasons. They may prefer it to a traditional civil lawsuit, or they may have an arbitration agreement with their employers. Some employees may be required by law to use arbitration to resolve disputes with employers—for example, Series 7 securities dealers.
