As the time and cost of arbitration continue to rise, efficiency has become a central concern for its users. In recent years, the arbitration community has introduced a variety of innovations to address these challenges—from embedding efficiency principles into institutional rules to imposing time limits for commencing proceedings and issuing awards, as well as offering expedited or fast-track procedures.  While these initiatives mark meaningful progress, there is still considerable work to be done.
