Dispute Resolution Clause Analysis
Dispute resolution clauses determine whether you'll mediate, arbitrate, litigate, or escalate through some other process—and choosing the wrong one can cost you time, money, and control over the outcome. Understanding these clauses matters because they're binding: if you agree to arbitration, you've often given up your right to sue in court, even if the other party acts in bad faith.
