Arbitration - Common Ground Resolutions

While we emphasize the settlement of disputes, there are cases that require a forum other than the court system by contract or stipulation. Subject to available calendar dates, we provide for arbitration under the California arbitration rules, as well as arbitration subject to the federal rules of arbitration. Unlike many ADR companies, we maintain a small private hearing room for testimony and advocacy.

Arbitration Fees:

The arbitration fee covers the time before the session required for document study, issue research, correspondence, telephone calls, and the rendering of the Arbitrator’s decision. Extraordinary expenses, if any, will be reimbursed separately. Our arbitration retainer policy requires advance payment based on the number of plenary session days required.

Arbitration Retainer Policy:

Cancellation before 90 days prior to the originally scheduled ﬁrst arbitration session: Refund of the arbitration fee less the ﬁrst session day fee and a $500.00 administrative fee.
Cancellation by 60 days prior to the originally scheduled ﬁrst arbitration session: One-half of the arbitration fee refunded less the ﬁrst session day fee and a $500.00 administrative fee.
Cancellation thereafter: No refund provided (except in the discretion of the Arbitrator).
