Securities Arbitration and Mediation

Securities arbitration and mediation are methods used to resolve disputes in the securities industry, such as disagreements between investors and brokers. In arbitration, an impartial third party reviews the evidence and makes a binding decision, similar to a court proceeding but usually faster and less formal. Mediation, on the other hand, involves a neutral mediator helping both parties reach a voluntary agreement. These processes aim to provide a more efficient and cost-effective way to settle conflicts related to investments, trading, and financial advice, avoiding lengthy court battles while protecting investors' rights.
