Your arbitrator should have experience in litigation and expertise from representing clients in transactions.

Hearings are easier to schedule. You do not end up in court on your assigned date, having lined up witnesses, with no judge or courtroom available.

Your arbitrator is not distracted by a heavy docket of other cases including a criminal and domestic relations docket.

Hearings are informal and easier to conduct. It is common practice to call witnesses by telephone and to submit sworn statements.

Litigation costs should be kept at a minimum.
