arbitration regulatory

"party to an arbitration"

A private process for resolving legal disputes where one or more neutral decision‑makers (arbitrators) act like a referee or private judge and issue a final ruling outside the public court system. It matters to investors because arbitration clauses in contracts can change how quickly and quietly disputes are resolved, affect legal costs and the likelihood of appeal, and influence the financial and reputational risks a company may face.
