International arbitration · as an alternative jurisdictional route · offers many advantages for resolving international business disputes.
It allows the choice of a truly international forum with greater neutrality given its often multinational composition, avoiding judgment before the other party’s national courts.
Arbitration also offers greater speed and stronger confidentiality, which is essential where commercial secrets must be preserved.
Parties may appoint specialist arbitrators, improving the quality of the decision.
Arbitral awards are generally easier to enforce abroad than state court judgments, notably thanks to the 1958 New York Convention and the widespread adoption of the UNCITRAL Model Law on arbitration.
International arbitration is therefore often a flexible, efficient and secure solution for international trade actors.
Our cross-border arbitration practice helps us design the right strategy for each case.
