About

In what some would say has become an ever growing “arbitration nation,” an increasing number of cases are being resolved through arbitration rather than court. Arbitration of complex commercial cases, particularly with contractual and employment disputes, has proven to offer greater privacy, speed and economics over court proceedings for achieving a resolution acceptable to all parties. Though the flexibility of the process makes it an excellent forum for resolving these complex cases, arbitration’s fundamental principles can conflict with the necessities of a large corporate dispute.

This book, written by experienced practitioners and arbitrators discuss the arbitration process, and offer their best advice for determining when to use it, how to select an arbitrator and how to streamline a complex commercial dispute in arbitration.
