Arbitration Agreement
(Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Employment-Related Disputes) (IN)

Summary

This template is an arbitration agreement for a mutual agreement to arbitrate employment-related disputes for use in Indiana that features guidance to withstand challenges to arbitrability for private employers. This template includes practical guidance, drafting notes, and alternate and optional clauses. This template contemplates using the American Arbitration Association as the arbitral organization, but parties can choose to use other organizations as well. The template's language complies with Indiana and federal law. It does not differ from the non-jurisdictional Arbitration Agreement (Mutual Agreement to Arbitrate Employment-Related Disputes), except that it contains drafting notes, alternate clauses, and optional clauses that address issues under both the Indiana and federal law.
