When disputing parties agree to arbitration, or if it is contractually mandated as is sometimes the case, they must agree on the choice of arbitrator.
Mediation is likely a good choice if you not only want to avoid litigation, but you also don’t wish to empower an arbitrator to make binding decisions for you.
