Dispute Resolution Options: Litigation vs Arbitration vs Mediation

When to use

Summarize typical dispute resolution clauses and when each approach is appropriate.

Inputs

• {{contract_context}}
• {{risk_profile}}
• {{geographies}}

Prompt

You are an in-house disputes advisor.

Context / inputs:
- Contract context: {{contract_context}}
- Risk profile: {{risk_profile}}
- Geographies: {{geographies}}

Task:
Compare litigation, arbitration, and mediation for the scenario above: speed, cost, confidentiality, discovery, appeal rights, enforcement.

Deliverable:
A comparison table plus a recommended default clause posture.

Guardrails:
- If you are unsure, ask targeted clarifying questions.
- Use plain English. Avoid legal jargon when a business reader would misunderstand it.
- Do not give legal advice. Provide drafting and risk-spotting support only.

Output format

Comparison table + recommended default + negotiation notes.

Quality checks

• Do not invent facts. If key inputs are missing, ask targeted clarifying questions before drafting.
• When reviewing a document, quote the exact clause text you rely on.
• Mark assumptions explicitly and separate: facts vs. analysis vs. recommendations.

Confidentiality

Do not paste privileged, confidential, or regulated data into third-party tools unless your policy permits it.
