Agree to Arbitrate
Parties agree to arbitrate a premises liability dispute with ADR Systems.

Administrative Conference
Case managers at ADR Systems coordinate an administrative conference call to set hearing dates, discovery scope, witness schedules and briefing timelines.

Hearing & Award
Parties proceed with the hearing in the agreed upon format. The arbitrator issues a written, enforceable award.

Premises liability arbitration is defined as a formal, adjudicatory process that replaces court litigation. Here’s how it works at ADR Systems:

• Binding Decision-Making: Parties select a single arbitrator who hears evidence and arguments before rendering a binding award — final and enforceable in court.
• Flexible yet Formal Procedures: Arbitration follows streamlined rules such as ADR Systems’ arbitration rules or other jointly selected rules.

• Efficient & Private: Compared to unpredictable court timelines, arbitration is a quicker process and private – protecting sensitive information.
• Cost Savings: The streamlined process of arbitration reduces discovery, motion practice and overhead costs.
