We’ve handled thousands of small claims disputes worth tens of millions of dollars.
FastTrack leverages 7 years of experience to dramatically modernize ADR.
Why FairClaims?
Large arbitration providers cater to big companies and corporate lawyers - their arbitrations are too complex, time consuming, and costly for the rest of us.
We're changing that.
Our FastTrack rules and technology platform can resolve disputes in around 90 days for a fraction of the cost of AAA and JAMS. It’s user friendly and simple.

Disputes can be resolved in three to four months from the time the arbitrator is assigned.

Use us for disputes under $100 - $250K if you typically handle larger matters - you and the other side can agree to use FairClaims after a dispute arises
