International Arbitration Newsletter - March 2019
As we come to the first anniversary of our internal arbitration newsletter, we are pleased to introduce a new series of articles exploring practical aspects of international arbitration. We begin this month with: 'Why arbitrate?'
Why to choose arbitration to resolve a dispute?
Parties negotiating a dispute resolution provision will each endeavour to have the dispute resolved in the forum which favours their interests. The choice of the dispute resolution method will always depend on the circumstances of each case.
