Arbitration

Arbitration is an alternative method in which the parties to a dispute agree to present their positions to an arbitrator who is an objective third party, in order for him to decide the dispute without appeal. As part of the considerations of possible courses of action, the firm considers and recommends, to the extent possible, the resolution of disputes in alternative ways in order to save its clients expenses and avoid harm to business interests that may result from conducting a long and publicized procedure in court.

The arbitrator is obligated to be objective and decide the dispute before him and to rule impartially. The arbitrator may also accept the position of one party in full, award the full amount of the claim, or reject the claim altogether, and in this sense the arbitrator is similar to a judge.

Unlike the mediation process, which is entirely voluntary and contingent on the will of the parties, there are many cases in which arbitration is forced upon a party who does not wish to do so, by virtue of a contract they signed in the past. However, compared to litigation in court, it can be said that the parties have greater control over the choice of the person who will decide the dispute, as they can choose the arbitrator themselves, which is not possible when filing a claim in court, where a judge is appointed to hear a particular case by the court secretariat.
