The Context
Arbitration was meant to be fast, focused, and flexible — but somewhere along the way, it started to look a lot like litigation in disguise. Endless process, rising costs, and the same old adversarial habits.
Has arbitration lost its edge?
In a world that rewards agility, collaboration, and innovation, it’s time to ask whether arbitration can evolve — and how we can make it work smarter, not harder.
Why Hybrid?
Hybrid dispute resolution is where agility meets creativity. It’s about mixing and matching the right tools for the job — facilitation, mediation, expert determination, early neutral evaluation, arbitration — applied when they’re needed, not simply because an escalation clause says so.
They can be used in sequence, side-by-side, or revisited throughout the life of a dispute until resolution is achieved. No rigid boundaries, no one-size-fits-all. Just the freedom to adapt as a dispute unfolds.
The goal? Better results, faster resolutions, and relationships left intact — not in tatters.
