The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) issued new Arbitration Rules and Mediation Procedures governing commercial disputes for AAA commercial arbitrations initiated on or after October 1, 2013. Arbitration proceedings filed prior to October 1, 2013 continue to be governed by the Arbitration Rules & Mediation Procedures amended and effective June 1, 2010.
There are a number of significant changes to the Commercial Rules, many of which appear designed to add increased flexibility to the parties and retain arbitration’s promise of a streamlined, cost-effective alternative to traditional litigation.
Foley prepared a chart, available below, to assist parties to arbitration agreements navigate the changes by not only identifying the most significant provisions and changes, but explaining the implications and recommending strategic responses to these changes.
