When we can help.

Arbitration requires close attention to the arbitration agreement, applicable rules, and the particular circumstances of the dispute. Our work combines analysis of these elements, strategic preparation, and representation in the proceedings.

Assessing an arbitration clause during contract negotiations.
Understanding the effects of an arbitration agreement when a dispute arises.
Preparing a claim or a response in arbitration proceedings.
Organizing evidence and assessing issues at the intersection of arbitration and court proceedings.

How we work.

Arbitration Agreements

Analyzing and drafting arbitration provisions in their contractual context.

Dispute Preparation

Organizing the facts, documents, and issues that inform the strategy.

Representation

Preparing submissions and managing each stage of the proceedings.

Assessing court measures related to arbitration when appropriate and necessary.

From the agreement through the proceedings.

Preparation addresses the arbitration agreement, the subject of the dispute, and the chosen rules. Claims, evidence, submissions, hearings, and any court measures should form a coherent strategy.

Language, seat, costs, and scheduling shape the proceedings. Information handling and confidentiality also depend on applicable rules and agreed commitments; they should not be assumed to apply uniformly.

Contract drafting and information management before a conflict affect dispute preparation. Negotiations may be considered at different stages, without making them mandatory or removing the need to assess measures to preserve rights.
