American Arbitration Association Revenue and Competitors

The American Arbitration Association is available to resolve a wide range of disputes through mediation, arbitration, elections and other out-of-court settlement procedures. That the AAA has flourished for over 75 years affirms an unparalleled commitment to progressive leadership in alternative dispute resolution (ADR), and the Association’s facility for change and service innovation. The history, mission and not-for-profit status of the AAA are unique in the field of alternative dispute resolution. It is, however, the Association’s ADR resources – its panels, rules, administration, and education and training services – that provide cost-effective and tangible value to counsel, businesses and industry professionals and their employees, customers and business partners. While many of the more than 230,255 cases administered by the American Arbitration Association in 2002 were resolved through mediation or arbitration, less formal methods of dispute resolution -- such as fact-finding, mini-trial and partnering -- are clearly coming into wider use. To serve your dispute resolution needs, the AAA provides a forum for the hearing of disputes through 34 offices nationwide and two International Centres in New York and in Dublin, tested rules and procedures that have broad acceptance, and a roster of over 8,000 impartial experts to hear and resolve cases.
