WHAT we do

Companies need to resolve disputes as quickly and efficiently as possible so they can focus on their core priorities. We are the one-stop shop for all dispute resolution and avoidance needs of businesses everywhere. Our range of services help businesses actively avoid, manage and resolve disputes without recourse to courts. 

WHY we do it 

In an increasingly tumultuous global trade environment, the number of cross-border commercial disputes is on the rise. These disputes are costly, time-consuming and disrupt business continuity. Companies need to resolve disputes as quickly and efficiently as possible so they can focus on their core priorities – growth, innovation and business.  

To resolve disputes effectively and efficiently, businesses need a fair process and equal access to justice. Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanisms give parties fast, predictable, cost effective and efficient access to justice which is why businesses systematically include arbitration and ADR clauses in their commercial contracts. 

HOW we do it 

In  a crowded field of arbitral institutions and dispute resolution services, businesses need a partner that delivers the highest level of service – a partner that guarantees neutrality, transparency, quality, efficiency, accessibility and fairness, and one that delivers universally respected and enforceable arbitral awards. Above all, they need a partner that understands their business priorities.
