Are You Self Represented?

In arbitration, parties are generally not required to have a lawyer represent them (unless specific state laws say otherwise). Many individuals and small business owners choose to handle arbitration on their own. Because arbitration is a final and binding process that can affect your legal rights, it’s wise to consult with an attorney before deciding to represent yourself. If you choose to proceed without a lawyer, ADRGlobal offers clear guidance, user‑friendly procedures, and accessible resources to help you navigate the process with confidence.
