How long will a securities arbitration hearing take?

Securities arbitration hearings in Oregon can take anywhere from a few months to several years depending on the nature of the dispute. Generally, an arbitration hearing will start with a pre-hearing conference, where the parties involved in the dispute will present their case and discuss what a fair resolution should be. This pre-hearing conference can take anywhere from a few hours to several days. After the pre-hearing conference, the parties can agree on an arbitrator (or the court can appoint one). The arbitrator will then hold a hearing, during which both parties present their case and the arbitrator will make a decision. Depending on the complexity of the case, the hearing can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks. Once the hearing is complete, the arbitrator will make a decision within a few days. The decision is then enforced by the court. In some cases, the parties may need to go through additional steps, such as filing a motion for post-hearing relief, which can extend the process even further. Overall, the length of a securities arbitration hearing depends on the complexity of the dispute and the steps taken by the parties involved.
