One other/alternative way to resolve disputes is through arbitration. This is a private, out-of-court process in which a neutral third party, known as an arbitrator, hears evidence from both sides and makes a decision that is legally binding on the parties.

Here are some of the specific legal services which are provided by us in relation to (non-specialist) commercial arbitration:

• Advising on the suitability of arbitration as a dispute resolution mechanism: 
• Drafting arbitration agreements
• Pre-hearing conferences
• Representing parties in (non specialist) arbitration proceedings

• Filing of/appearance for interim applications to the tribunal/courts. 
• Negotiating Settlement
• Selecting arbitrators and challenging arbitrators for bias or conflict of interest
• Conducting the arbitration hearing, including presenting evidence and cross-examining witnesses
• Drafting post-hearing submissions/briefs and applications
