Arbitration is a private dispute-resolution process in which one or more neutral arbitrators hear the parties and issue a binding decision called an award. It is often used when contracts include an arbitration clause and can be faster and more confidential than going to court.
Yes. Arbitration awards are generally enforceable and can be confirmed by a court, after which they carry the force of a judgment. Courts will only set aside an award in limited circumstances, such as fraud or a serious procedural defect, so the outcome is usually final.
Arbitration clauses can offer speed and privacy but also limit your right to appeal and to a public court process. Before signing, an attorney can explain the trade-offs, the rules that would govern, and where the arbitration would take place so you can make an informed decision.
Mediation is a voluntary process where a neutral mediator helps the parties reach their own agreement. Unlike arbitration, the mediator does not impose a decision; the parties stay in control. If they settle, the agreement can be put in writing and made enforceable.
Mediation can be ideal when the parties want to preserve a relationship, save time and money, or keep the matter private. It is common in family, contract, and community disputes. Courts in Puerto Rico sometimes refer cases to mediation to encourage settlement.
While a mediator stays neutral and cannot give you legal advice, having your own attorney helps you understand your rights, evaluate proposals, and ensure any settlement protects your interests. A lawyer can also review the final agreement before you sign it.
