Arbitration is a structured process in which an independent arbitrator considers a dispute and reaches a decision. Unlike mediation, the outcome is decided rather than agreed, and in many cases it is binding on both parties.
When it applies
Arbitration is often available because a contract provides for it, or because an industry scheme offers it. Whether it is open to you usually depends on the agreement you signed and on the scheme covering that sector.
What Oxthorpe does
Oxthorpe can review the agreement to identify whether an arbitration route exists, explain what the process would involve, and prepare the correspondence and documentation the process requires.
What this is not
Oxthorpe is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice or representation, and does not act as arbitrator. An arbitrator's decision is theirs alone, and no particular outcome is promised.
Checking your position
Send the agreement and a summary of the dispute, and Oxthorpe will explain whether arbitration is among the routes realistically open to you.
