Yes, AAA arbitration in particular can create as many problems as it solves sometimes. I do think private arbitration can be helpful in smaller cases, but you can always agree to it when disputes arise if you don't have a provision up front in the contract.

Hill Mon, 20 Feb 2012 14:34:20 +0000 http://constructionlawnc.com/?p=2768#comment-531 I am not a big fan of mandatory arbitration myself. I feel that parties need the flexibility to distinguish between those cases that a judge can handle and those that truly need the expertise of a construction or legal professional. In many of my cases, the filing fees for AAA or other arbitration (not to mention paying 1 to 3 judges) can get prohibitive. I have also found that arbitration can often be just as expensive if the rules are not set out with clarity. I am not a big fan of mandatory arbitration myself.
