FINRA vs AAA Arbitration |Securities Practice|

FINRA vs AAA Arbitration

Depending on the terms of your contract, we can adjudicate your matter either before FINRA Dispute Resolution arbitration panels or those of the American Arbitration Association (AAA).

FINRA arbitrations are known to be much cheaper to conduct, with much lower administrative fees and other costs. Most FINRA arbitrators charge about $400 per session to hear case. AAA, on the other hand, has much higher administrative fees, often more than double FINRA’s, and AAA arbitrators can charge more than $400 per hour!

Consider also that most FINRA and AAA arbitrations take about a calendar year to complete. Some have taken several years, costing both parties.

We can give you solid advice on managing costs in either forum as you pursue your matter.

Our Law Firm Provides Legal Counsel & Representation for a Range of Securities & FINRA-Related Cases.
