When disputes related to trade finance instruments occur, we offer a specialised method that is confidential, quick and cost-effective called Documentary Instruments Dispute Resolution Expertise (DOCDEX).
Experts
The ICC International Centre for ADR offers three distinct services relating to experts and neutrals. They include: proposal of experts and neutrals; appointment of experts and neutrals; and administration of expert proceedings. In these instances, ICC is chosen to administer and supervise the entire expert proceedings.
Dispute boards
Dispute boards are permanent panels set up to accompany the performance of a contract. They also assist in avoiding or overcoming disagreements and disputes. As such, we provide a variety of tools and support for establishing and operating three types of dispute boards to minimise impact and enhance trust between parties.
