仲裁费用
The 乔治亚州律师协会’s 仲裁费用 Program is a service provided to the public 和 the attorneys of Georgia. This Program provides a convenient mechanism for the resolution of fee disputes between attorneys 和 clients, 和 between attorneys in connection with the dissolution of a practice or the withdrawal of an attorney from a partnership or practice, or between attorneys concerning the allocation of fees earned from joint services.
The 仲裁费用 Program is designed to ensure that the public can address attorney fee disputes without having to navigate the court system alone or without hiring another attorney for assistance in the specific dispute. Attorneys also benefit from participating in the 仲裁费用 Program because this confidential Program keeps the dispute out of the public court system. Our program only offers binding arbitration, meaning Petitioners 和 Respondents must agree to be bound by the rules 和 the outcome of the Award if they wish to participate in the program. This binding arbitration helps ensure that all Awards can be enforced if that additional formal process becomes is necessary.
Attorneys 和/or clients can initiate attorney fee dispute complaints by filing a form called a Petition for 仲裁费用. 仲裁费用 is offered at no cost to the attorney or the public in attorney/client fee disputes.
In fee disputes between attorneys 和/or law firms, all attorneys involved must initiate the complaint by filing a Joint Petition for 仲裁费用 for Attorneys or Law Firms. This service is offered to attorneys 和 law firms for a nominal fee. A panel of three attorney arbitrators hears the case if jurisdiction is accepted.
仲裁费用 hearings are held at the 乔治亚州律师协会 headquarters in downtown Atlanta, in the 乔治亚州律师协会’s local Tifton or Savannah offices, or on virtual meeting platforms, 像变焦, to ensure that arbitration is easily accessible. Most of our arbitration hearings are conducted by two experienced attorneys 和 one non-attorney. Like judges, arbitrators hear arguments from both sides 和 decide the outcome of the dispute. Arbitrators 和 both parties are allowed to request reasonable discovery if/when a hearing date is set. 另外, arbitrators can request additional evidence during a hearing to ensure they are well informed when issuing an Award.

理解仲裁
仲裁, a form of alternative dispute resolution, is a formal process for resolving disputes without going to court. Sometimes people confuse arbitration 和 mediation, so the Georgia Office of Dispute Resolution’s Rules define Arbitration by saying, “Arbitration differs from mediation in that an arbitrator or panel of arbitrators renders a decision after hearing an abbreviated version of the evidence. The essential difference between mediation 和 arbitration is that arbitration is a form of adjudication, 而调解不是.”
