Businesses want arbitration clauses that will
be enforced and result in an expedient and
cost-efficient resolution. Errors in drafting
can result in arbitration clauses that are not
enforced or proceedings that are costly. Focus
on drafting an arbitration clause that will stand
up to legal challenges, avoid ambiguities, and
streamline the arbitration process.
