INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Why Arbitration?
Arbitration keeps gaining popularity as a quicker, more
cost effective and more internationally enforceable
alternative to court.
In arbitration, the parties agree on how they want to
resolve their dispute. You choose the arbitrator(s), the
procedure, the language, the seat, the venue and the
timeframe.
Moreover, arbitration also offers judgments (termed
“Awards”) which are generally more internationally
enforceable than court judgments.
Ultimately, arbitration has become the preferred form
of international dispute resolution because it
understands and is responsive to the modern global
marketplace.
