Arbitration
Our Work
Arbitration is a fairer, faster, and less expensive way for workers and consumers to resolve conflicts. It is less costly and time-consuming than courtroom litigation. But arbitration is continuously under attack from plaintiffs’ lawyers, who often benefit the most, financially, from lawsuits. The Chamber Litigation Center and Institute for Legal Reform fight to preserve arbitration at federal and state levels.
