Litigation v Arbitration
Litigation and arbitration are two popular legal methods used to resolve disputes. The main difference between litigation and arbitration is that litigation is almost always a public procedure where a dispute has gone to court for a judge or jury to give judgment in favour of one of the parties. Arbitration, however, is almost always a confidential and private process which sees both sides agree on an arbitrator who, as a neutral third party, will study the case and evidence and discuss the matter with both parties with a view to negotiating a settlement and making a binding decision.
Appleby lawyers are experts in both litigation and arbitration, enabling us to help our clients achieve the best possible outcome whatever the nature of their dispute.

What is litigation and dispute resolution?
Litigation is a method of dispute resolution that involves going to court to settle the outcome of a dispute, while dispute resolution is the umbrella term for all methods of settling disputes between parties. Different types of dispute resolution that can achieve a resolution to a dispute typically include litigation, arbitration, mediation, negotiation and conciliation.
Is alternative dispute resolution effective?
Alternative dispute resolution can be a very effective solution to a dispute as both parties are usually committed to finding a resolution by working together in good faith and it is typically confidential and private, more cost-effective and provides a quicker resolution than litigation.
