Arbitration and Amicable Settlements
We assess arbitration and settlement options, drafting arrangements that clarify procedures, obligations, and the agreement's effects.
We help parties assess arbitration and amicable settlement against existing agreements and the nature of their claims. Our work includes reviewing arbitration clauses, representation, and preparing submissions, alongside negotiation and settlement drafting. We explain each route's implications and requirements, and review appropriate arrangements for formalization and enforcement.

FAQ
Before you get in touch
Can we arbitrate without an arbitration clause in the contract?
A later agreement may be possible, subject to the dispute's arbitrability and applicable requirements. We review the subject matter, parties' capacity, and proposed wording before identifying the available route.
Does an arbitration clause cover every disagreement?
Its scope depends on the wording, contract, and nature of the disagreement. We assess whether the claims and parties fall within the agreement, including issues affecting validity or application.
What should a settlement agreement include?
It should identify covered claims, obligations, performance dates, waivers, and consequences of breach. We also review formalization and enforcement arrangements so each party understands its obligations and the rights being settled.
Can every settlement agreement be enforced directly?
This depends on its form, formalization, and legal status. We review the document and relevant requirements to identify the enforcement route, without assuming that signing alone makes it directly enforceable.
