Arbitration
Binding arbitration services as an efficient alternative to litigation — professional, fast and confidential determinations in civil and commercial disputes.
Arbitration is a process in which the parties agree to place the determination of their dispute in the hands of a professional arbitrator instead of the court. The arbitrator's award is binding and can be confirmed by a court like any judgment.
What is arbitration?
Unlike mediation, in arbitration I decide the dispute and issue an award. The parties shape the rules of the process — the scope of evidence, the timetable and the language — making it far faster and more efficient than ordinary litigation.
When is arbitration appropriate?
- When the parties want a binding decision, but quickly.
- When specific subject-matter expertise is required.
- When confidentiality matters — arbitration is not public.
- When the contract between the parties contains an arbitration clause.
