DIAC Arbitration

Overview

Arbitration is won on preparation: a well-framed request, the right tribunal and a procedural timetable that suits your case. We advise from the first notice of dispute through the award, and on the clause itself before a dispute arises.

What this covers

• Request for arbitration, answer and counterclaim
• Arbitrator selection, disclosure and challenge strategy
• Terms of reference, procedural orders and case management
• Written submissions, witness and expert evidence
• Settlement strategy alongside the proceedings
• Arbitration clause drafting for new contracts
