    Solution

    Arbitration is a method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) that provides a private and efficient way to resolve civil disputes. It allows parties to submit their disputes to one or more arbitrators who make a binding decision, known as an arbitral award. This process is an alternative to traditional litigation in court and is often chosen for its speed, flexibility, and confidentiality.
