the AAA (American Arbitration Association)

The American Arbitration Association (AAA) is a nonprofit organization that helps resolve disputes outside of courts through arbitration. It provides a neutral setting where parties submit their disagreements—often related to business, labor, or consumer issues—and an arbitrator makes a binding decision. The AAA establishes rules and procedures to ensure a fair and efficient process, aiming to deliver quicker and more flexible resolutions compared to traditional litigation. It is widely used in commercial and employment conflicts for its expertise, neutrality, and confidentiality, offering an effective alternative to court proceedings.
