Arbitration, usually indicated as a faster and more specialized alternative for dispute resolution than state jurisdiction, is a viable option for emerging conflicts from franchise relations. Furthermore, this paper proposes an analysis of controversial issues related to the inclusion of the arbitration clause in franchise contracts. These issues can range from whether the franchisor should inform the arbitration proceedings, in which he is involved, as well as with pending judicial matters; to the validity of the arbitration clause with respect to the economically disadvantaged franchisee; and the requirements applicable to the insertion of the arbitration clause in the franchise agreement, including those characterized as adhesion agreements.
