International Arbitration Solicitors

International arbitration is a dispute resolution method where parties agree to resolve their disputes with private arbitrators, bypassing national courts. It is widely preferred for cross-border transactions due to its neutral forum, enforceable awards, and the ability to choose arbitrators.  Agreement to arbitrate is typically done through an arbitration clause in commercial agreements. Alternatively, parties can agree to submit a dispute to arbitration after it arises, known as a submission agreement.

The arbitration clause covers crucial aspects of the process, such as the arbitral institution, number and appointment of arbitrators, legal place of arbitration (seat of arbitration), and language. They may also specify the governing law, which can differ from the substantive law governing the contract.  The authority of arbitrators is determined by the arbitration clause and the law of the arbitration seat. The process concludes with a binding final award issued by the arbitrators, enforceable in most courts worldwide. Appeals are usually not allowed, and the award can only be set aside on limited grounds.

International arbitration covers a range of disputes, including those between states, individuals, or companies seeking damages. International law, given the complexities arising from different countries having their own state laws, often leads to disputes between nations. When seeking arbitration for international or cross-border disputes, it is crucial to engage a lawyer with expertise in the field. With our international presence and specialized knowledge in international law, Monarch Solicitors can provide you with the confidence and assurance needed to proceed with arbitration by instructing our dedicated international arbitration solicitors.
