When speaking about eDiscovery we often talk about the tools in the context of court-based litigation, but there are many more facets to the litigation process that these tools can be beneficial for. In this post, we will be examining how eDiscovery tools and processes can be used to boost efficiencies in arbitration matters.  

Arbitration is the process of presenting a dispute to one or more impartial arbitrators who make binding decisions on your matter. It is often a far quicker process than going to court and also offers more freedom in choice of arbitrator, location, language and applicable law. Arbitration allows parties to settle their matters privately, instead of in a public court setting whilst maintaining the confidentiality and legally binding nature of all decisions. 

In general, eDiscovery tools can be used to great effect in all legal proceedings but let's have a look at how these tools specifically benefit arbitration.
