Corporate Disputes: Arbitration or Litigation?

Commercial disputes are inevitable. What separates a manageable disagreement from a business-threatening one is usually the resolution route chosen at the start.

Litigation: When Court Is the Right Answer

Court proceedings offer a binding, enforceable judgment and are sometimes unavoidable — particularly where urgent injunctive relief is needed. The trade-off is time, cost and a public record.

Arbitration: Faster and Private

Arbitration is usually quicker, confidential, and lets both sides choose an arbitrator with genuine domain expertise. For ongoing commercial relationships, it is often the better path.

Mediation: Preserving the Relationship

Where the relationship matters more than winning, mediation frequently produces a workable settlement at a fraction of the cost.

The dispute resolution clause you ignore while signing is the clause that decides your fate when things go wrong.

Get the Clause Right First

Most of this is decided long before a dispute arises — in your contract's dispute resolution clause. Have agreements reviewed before you sign, not after.
