Settle disputes outside of court with the help of an experienced arbitrator.
When traditional mediation hasn’t fully resolved a legal dispute, arbitration offers a structured and private alternative to court. In arbitration, a neutral third party hears evidence and arguments from both sides and makes a legally binding decision about your case. This process often provides a more flexible, efficient, and confidential path to resolution.
Arbitration is a dispute resolution process where an arbitrator hears both sides of your situation and makes a decision outside of court.
Arbitration can be useful for individuals who are looking for swift dispute resolution without taking their case in front of a judge. Our arbitration services include:
During an arbitration session, you can expect a more formal process than mediation.
You and the other party will present your arguments and evidence to a neutral arbitrator. This may involve providing documents, calling witnesses, and making legal submissions. The arbitrator will listen to both sides impartially and, after reviewing all the information, will issue a binding decision to resolve the dispute, which both parties are legally obligated to follow.
Yes, in Alberta, the decision made by an arbitrator is legally binding on all parties involved. This means that once the arbitrator issues their decision, it has the same legal force as a court order and can be enforced through the courts if necessary.
Arbitration can be suitable for a wide range of disputes where parties are looking for a binding resolution outside of court. This often includes complex financial matters, property division, and support issues in family law, as well as contractual disputes or other civil disagreements.
Arbitration generally offers a more private, flexible, and often faster path to resolution than traditional court litigation. While the arbitrator’s decision is binding, the process can be tailored to the parties’ needs, potentially reducing legal costs and allowing for a more confidential outcome than in public court proceedings.
