Description
The increase in international commercial transactions in recent years in spheres as varied as mergers and acquisitions, finance, trade, energy, joint ventures and intellectual property has brought with it a corresponding increase in the number and complexity of cross-border disputes. Planning for the resolution of disputes is a necessary and important part of any cross-border commercial relationship. Arbitration can have significant practical advantages over litigation through national court systems. Among other potential benefits, arbitration can provide greater procedural flexibility and confidentiality, while avoiding the uncertainties of foreign court proceedings. Arbitral awards also may be significantly easier to. enforce across national borders than court judgments. As international arbitration is increasingly used as a means for resolving disputes in connection with international commercial contracts, A Practical Guide to International Commercial Arbitration provides an essential hands-on guide for those who require practical, up-to-date, and easily accessible advice and knowledge in this area.
