Court Side
To stay out of court, small-business owners can
turn to arbitration to help solve disagreements
with clients, suppliers and even employees. But
before you draft or sign an arbitration
agreement, make sure you understand all of the
rules. The Web site of the American Arbitration
Association (AAA) can help. It provides
arbitration procedures and state-by-state laws.
Check it out at
