3. Overview Of The International Arbitration Information In addition to empowering arbitration end-users to play a more active role with respect to their cases, it is hoped that these tools will contribute to the demystification of arbitration, whose use is likely to continue to grow over the coming decades, in line with international transactions between parties of different nationalities.

4. Should International Arbitration Be Used To Resolve A Dispute? Even in the presence of an agreement containing an arbitration clause, negotiations or international mediation may be worth considering unless it is clear that the opposing party is unwilling to negotiate an end to a dispute on fair terms or in good faith. While arbitration will result in a final and binding judgment, like any legal dispute a ruling on the matter will not be instant and, on average, an international arbitration takes approximately 18 months from the filing of a case until the rendering of an arbitration award.

5. Analyzing International Arbitration Agreements The international arbitration agreement must be reviewed in detail to ensure that the arbitration agreement was properly drafted and is sufficient to establish jurisdiction for your dispute prior to initiating a case. If the arbitration clause was improperly drafted, the arbitration clause could be deemed to be “pathological” and may not validly permit the parties to resolve their dispute via international arbitration. To avoid this, nearly all leading arbitral institutions provide model arbitration clauses.
