FRANCHISE LITIGATION
The franchisor-Franchisee relationship can be very complex and involves many facets. Like in any kind of relationship, sometimes one side or another could become disappointed. In some instances, a lawsuit occurs. Sometimes a lawsuit is needed, other times disputes can be solved without litigation.
If you as a franchisor or franchisee feel you main have a legal claim. You don’t need to get into a litigation process.
In arbitration, a third-party arbitrator hears your claim. The arbitrator’s decision is generally considered final and binding. The arbitrator has to listen to both sides, evaluating evidence, making a decision that seeks to achieve fairness and often providing a written explanation. Arbitration is generally much more informal compared to going to court.
On the other hand, Mediation involves the use of neutral, third-party mediators. The mediator meets with the parties and their respective lawyers, serving as a facilitator for discussion and negotiation to resolve the dispute. With a meditator, no decision is imposed on any party involved, and no one is forced to accept any particular outcome.
