Arbitration & Dispute Resolution
Advice and representation in arbitration and dispute resolution for civil and commercial matters, considered in light of the agreement and dispute.
Overview
The practice includes arbitration, mediation and other dispute-resolution matters connected with civil and commercial disputes. Whether arbitration is available, and how it proceeds, depends in part on the parties’ agreement and the circumstances of the dispute.
Matters and legal assistance
- Advice on arbitration-related issues and dispute-resolution options.
- Assistance in arbitration proceedings where appropriate.
- Consideration of arbitration clauses and related contractual records.
- Advice on post-award steps, including enforcement issues where relevant.
Choosing a process
The dispute-resolution clause, applicable law, relief sought and stage of the matter inform the next steps. Arbitration and mediation are distinct processes; an appropriate approach can only be considered after reviewing the relevant agreement and facts.
Legal assistance
Assistance is tailored to the dispute and procedural stage. This general overview is not advice about whether a specific dispute must or should be referred to arbitration.
