Arbitration and Mediation
Economic actors seek alternative dispute resolution methods in order to better manage efficiently their economic and legal exposure.
Mediation is an amicable, out-of-court, dispute resolution method, whereby parties refer to a neutral third-party to seek a satisfactory solution for all parties. Its goal is to bring the parties together.
Arbitration is a mechanism whereby parties refer a dispute to an arbitral tribunal, which rules in law and renders an award. It is a dispute resolution method that is an alternative to the jurisdiction of state courts.
These two mechanisms, which can be used jointly or individually, help ensure an efficient and tailored dispute resolution.
Your challenges
Achieving efficient dispute resolution in a complex environment.
Defining and selecting the most appropriate dispute resolution mechanism
It is often advisable to seek negotiated solutions through mediation rather than to submit a dispute to a judicial or arbitral proceeding that will be long and uncertain. When the parties are unable to find a common solution, arbitration, neutral and flexible, is often better suited to international commercial disputes than state court proceedings.
Defining the most effective and appropriate procedural strategies
Companies seek pragmatic and efficient solutions, for solving the merits of their disputes as well as for procedural management. Mediation allows the parties, on the basis of compromise, to immediately find an exit to their dispute, while arbitration allows the parties to choose the most appropriate procedure for their dispute.
Comprehending the different alternative dispute resolution methods depending on the needs
The usefulness and relevance of the different alternative dispute resolution methods must be assessed based on the needs of the parties, the demands of each dispute and the expected outcomes.
