181. Dispute Dilemma? Discover Whether Arbitration or Mediation is Your Best Bet!

The Legal Paige® Podcast

What if a simple click on a streaming service could determine how a wrongful death claim is handled?

This is the exact legal nightmare that one Disney fan is experiencing right now. In this episode, I’m discussing the complex world of arbitration and mediation, inspired by a recent high-profile Disney lawsuit. I’m breaking down the nuances of these alternative dispute resolution methods, and whether they’re beneficial or harmful when included in contracts.

The episode highlights include:

• How arbitration and mediation are alternative dispute resolution methods that can help avoid costly and lengthy court trials.
• Arbitration results in a binding legal decision, while mediation is a non-binding agreement between parties.
• How including an arbitration clause in your contract can provide a faster, more confidential resolution to disputes.
• Why mediation may be more suitable for preserving professional relationships, but lacks the finality of arbitration.
• The importance of having a clear dispute resolution clause in your contracts to protect your business.
