About DMA Dispute Management & Avoidance

WHAT IS ARBITRATION?

Arbitration is one of the forms of dispute resolution other than litigation. In Binding Arbitration, the decision is final. Both parties to a contract voluntarily agree to forfeit their judicial rights to discovery, trial by a jury, and appeal. Instead they agree to have their dispute settled outside of a court of law by a neutral arbitrator. In DMA Arbitration, that arbitrator is also a construction industry expert. For most people, Binding Arbitration is the preferred choice of dispute resolution due to the lower cost, convenience, and time savings.
