Arbitration Clauses

Wood, Atter & Associates, P.A. represents clients in issues relating to Arbitration Clauses.

An agreement to arbitrate, or a provision in a contract providing for the arbitration of disputes, is valid, enforceable, and irrevocable without regard to the justiciable character of the controversy.  

Public policy favors arbitration as an alternative to litigation because claims can be expedited, expenses can be reduced, and with a valid agreement the parties choose their own substitute method of resolving disputes. The Florida Courts have stated that despite arbitration provisions being generally favored by the courts, the right to arbitration must be safeguarded by a party who seeks to rely upon that right and the party must not act inconsistently with the right.

A party can waive their right to arbitration by acting inconsistently with the right to arbitration.  Follow this link to find out  more information on Valid Florida Arbitration Clauses.
