Deciding to start or defend an arbitration? It’s not just a legal strategy, it’s a business one.
Like any business decision, it should be made with full awareness not only of the chances of success on the merits, but also of the costs involved.
Arbitration is an effective dispute resolution process, but it comes at a cost, and that cost may sometimes exceed what’s at stake.
Understanding the full scope of arbitration costs — from institutional registration fees and advances to legal and expert fees, witness expenses, and internal mobilization costs — is key to a sound cost-benefit analysis.
