Condé Nast FAQs
Arbitration is a type of dispute resolution that is private, meaning that it occurs outside of court. In arbitration, a neutral person, called an arbitrator, can resolve legal claims. It’s usually less formal than a typical court case. These arbitrators work for private organizations that administer arbitrations under their rules. Often, consumer agreements and website terms and conditions require all disputes to be resolved through arbitration.
Mass action involves multiple plaintiffs filing separate lawsuits in court, often consolidated for efficiency, while mass arbitration involves multiple claimants resolving their claims through arbitration instead of court litigation.

Please complete our questionnaire to see if you may qualify to make an arbitration claim. If you qualify, you will need to sign an engagement letter that allows us to represent you. We will also ask you to swear to a “declaration” of the facts of your potential claim. For some cases, we may need you to upload documents to us. Look out for text messages and emails from us with information on any additional steps.
We may ask for documents that we believe could help with your potential claim. Documentation may help us recover on your behalf. If documentation is required, we will let you know.
If you are accepted as a client by Hartley Law and you sign the engagement letter, we and our co-counsel will be your attorneys for the case described in the engagement letter. We will not be your attorneys for any other matters unless you sign additional engagement agreements for such additional matters.
An engagement letter is a formal agreement between you and your attorneys that outlines the scope of work, fees, and responsibilities of both parties. By signing it, you ensure that everyone is on the same page about the legal services being provided and the terms of the arrangement. It protects both you and your attorneys by establishing clear expectations and minimizing misunderstandings. If you have any questions about the engagement letter, please feel free to ask us
