Mass arbitration presents a rapidly evolving challenge for businesses, as plaintiffs’ attorneys increasingly use coordinated filings of hundreds or thousands of individual arbitration claims to pressure companies into significant settlements. By leveraging arbitration clauses in consumer or employment agreements, this approach can quickly overwhelm businesses with substantial administrative costs, procedural challenges, and exposure to liability. Unlike traditional class action litigation, where claims are resolved collectively, mass arbitration allows for decentralized claims, intensifying the challenge of responding efficiently to each individual case.
