Professional Dispute Resolution Through Expert Arbitration
At Oxthorpe Barwell, we provide comprehensive arbitration services designed to resolve commercial and civil disputes efficiently, cost-effectively, and confidentially. Our experienced arbitrators offer an alternative to traditional litigation, delivering binding decisions that help parties move forward without the time and expense of court proceedings.
What is Arbitration?
Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process where an impartial third party (the arbitrator) hears evidence from all sides and makes a binding decision. Unlike mediation, arbitration results in a final, enforceable award that resolves the dispute definitively.
