Arbitration
Arbitration, mediation
International arbitration, mediation, and other alternative dispute resolution methods are becoming the preferred ways to resolve disputes in a globalized world. Our lawyers have the know-how and broad experience in arbitration to provide you with the support to avoid impending disputes and handle existing disputes efficiently, quickly and discreetly.
We already advise you in the preparation of arbitration clauses tailored to the needs of the contracting parties and assume your party representation in arbitration proceedings. Furthermore, our lawyers act as arbitrators or mediators in arbitration matters.
Representation in arbitration and related proceedings
Our lawyers advise and represent you in arbitration proceedings, both ad hoc and in those administered by an institution, and in particular offer you legal advice in the following matters:
- Assessment of opportunities and risks of a process
- Development of process strategies
- Acceptance of mandates as an arbitrator or the representation of parties in arbitral proceedings under institutional arbitration rules (e.g. ICC, Swiss Rules, UNCITRAL or SGOG) and in ad hoc proceedings
- Advice and support regarding enforcement of arbitration rulings
Dispute avoidance, out of court settlements and contract drafting
We support our clients in the avoidance of disputes and arbitral proceedings by developing and executing strategies to avoid litigation as well as settle disputes out of court, in particular by way of out of court settlement. Our lawyers already advise you in the context of the contract drafting with the aim to prevent and avoid future disputes between the parties. In particular, we support you in the formulation of enforceable jurisdiction and arbitration clauses.
