Arbitration Fees – How Much do Arbitrators Cost?

Business law Attorney Jason McGrath shares some information about how much you should expect to pay in fees to an Arbitrator in this short video.

https://youtu.be/_mJseLaXzM0

Here are some of the key points contained in this informational video:

  • Arbitrators typically charge fees similar to what lawyers charge.
  • Does the Arbitrator require a minimum amount when the arbitration is scheduled? This may be called a cancellation fee or a retainer fee. The arbitrator may require this to offset a loss if the arbitration cancels.
  • Arbitrators can sometimes be bargained with to lower fees but normally these are set fees.
  • Arbitration fees (which are mostly made up of the Arbitrator’s fees) are often split evenly between the parties, but this can be altered by contract, law, or court order.

You should get advice from an attorney to assist in handling litigation issues like arbitration.

This is part of a continuing series of video blogs on contract law and arbitration – you can find the first part of this series on our blog or on our YouTube Channel.

Where Does an Arbitration Physically Take Place?

Attorney Jason McGrath shares some information about where you can expect an arbitration proceeding to physically take place in this short video and summarized in this blog post.

Understand the practical logistics of an arbitration that may arise from a dispute about your business contract.

Here are some of the key points contained in this informational video:

Where will the arbitration physically take place? What city or county? An attorney’s office? The courthouse? City hall?

  • As far as city or county, arbitration often takes place where a related lawsuit would be (or is) taking place.
  • Some arbitration agreements will dictate what city or county the arbitration must occur in.
  • Arbitration can usually occur anywhere that the parties agree.
  • The arbitration hearing could take place at a private law office or the arbitrator’s office.
  • Arbitration doesn’t usually occur in the courthouse.

Occasionally a court will enter an order as to the logistical specifics of arbitration, such as the hearing location. You should get advice from a contract attorney to assist in handling litigation issues like arbitration.
