Dispute Resolution Services

The American Arbitration Association (AAA) is the nation's largest full-service alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider, addressing disputes involving, but not limited to, employment, intellectual property, consumer, technology, health care, financial services, construction, and international trade conflicts.

In today's environment, it is inevitable that disputes will arise. Establishing resolution protocols before a dispute arises can help maintain relationships as well as prevent and minimize the impact of disputes if or when they occur. And when disputes arise, ADR methods, such as arbitration, mediation, and other out-of-court settlement procedures can deliver efficient and effective results that satisfy the parties involved.

The AAA is more than a clearinghouse for arbitration and mediation rules and information. Our ADR resources--the panel of neutral arbitrators and mediators, the AAA rules, case administration services, as well as education and training services--provide cost-effective and real-world solutions to counsel, business and industry professionals, employees and government agencies, as well as consumers.

AAA dispute resolution services include case administration offered in conjunction with its Dispute Avoidance and Early Resolution Rules and Procedures and Arbitration and Mediation Rules and Procedures.
