Initiation Fee

Under the AAA's post-2024 mass regime, a flat fee covering the initiation stage regardless of claim count.

The January 2024 amendments replaced per-case initiation charges with a single flat initiation fee split between the claimant and business sides, with per-case fees resuming only after the initiation stage. The change materially reduced the pre-arbitrator cost of a very large filing without eliminating it.
