This image features the renowned statue of Justice, an embodiment of fairness and impartiality, often associated with law and legal proceedings. The statue is a powerful symbol in the context of arbitration, a method of resolving disputes outside the courts. The blindfolded figure holds balanced scales in one hand and a sword in the other, iconic elements that represent the equality and authority of justice. The image's focus on these symbols emphasises "arbitration" by highlighting the principles of unbiased judgement, balance, and equitable resolution that arbitration aims to achieve. The second aspect of this image is its dramatic lighting and composition that further underscore the concept of arbitration. The statue of Justice is illuminated against a darker background, drawing attention to its symbolic significance. The image composition is such that it places the statue - and therefore the idea of fair and impartial dispute resolution, at its very center. This creates a visual metaphor for the process of arbitration, where the goal is to attain justice outside of a traditional courtroom setting, embodied here by the prominent statue.

This graphic artfully represents the dynamic tension between arbitration and litigation, two common methods of resolving legal disputes. On one side, there's an icon symbolising arbitration: a balanced scale, representing the impartiality and fair-mindedness inherent in this method. On the other side, there's an icon for litigation: a gavel, denoting the authority and formality of court proceedings. Both icons are depicted as if they're in conversation, trying to find common ground, which underscores the theme of conflict resolution. The visual metaphor in the image speaks to the core differences between arbitration and litigation. The scale and the gavel are engaged in a symbolic dialogue, highlighting the balance of power and the negotiation involved in each process. The image strikes a balance between the simplicity of its design and the complexity of its subject matter, making the abstract concept of legal dispute resolution tangible and easy to understand. The colors, figures, and layout all work together to emphasise the differences between "arbitration vs litigation".
