What does a arbitration cost?

Arbitration

In arbitration, your business dispute is resolved by an impartial expert—an arbitrator from Result ADR. In the Netherlands, the arbitrator’s decision carries the same legal weight as a ruling by a public court.

What is Arbitration?

Arbitration is the most formal form of business dispute resolution. Our arbitrators follow a legally defined process to reach a decision, which in nearly all cases is binding for both parties. This makes arbitration an efficient and effective way to settle business conflicts. Since 2006, Result ADR has offered arbitration services led by experienced and highly qualified arbitrators.

Benefits of arbitration

When a business conflict cannot be resolved independently, arbitration offers a structured solution. Key advantages include:

Choice of arbitrator(s): parties select experts with the relevant knowledge for the dispute
Flexible process design: parties can agree on written rounds, timelines, and methods of evidence presentation
Confidentiality: hearings and rulings are generally not public
Binding outcome: the arbitrator’s decision is final and enforceable

FAQ

Arbitration is customized, making it difficult to provide a detailed cost estimate in advance. Costs always include the hours of the Result Mediation secretariat, the arbitrator's fee, and the registrar's fee. Additionally, there may be extra costs for witnesses and experts. Generally, the costs of arbitration are higher than those of a public court procedure.
