The advantages of arbitration in short

• Faster than a court proceeding. The case is finally settled by the arbitral tribunal. The arbitral award is not subject to appeal on the merits and is immediately enforceable.
• Cost-effective – shorter processing times than in court generally results in lower overall costs, despite the fact that the parties are obliged to pay for the arbitrators’ services. Lengthy court proceedings, following appeals to the higher courts, often result in very high attorney fees.
• More flexible than a court procedure. The proceedings may be tailored and adapted to the dispute at hand.
• The parties may agree that the proceedings (incl. the hearing) and the arbitral award shall be kept confidential.
• The parties can appoint the arbitrators who will decide the dispute and they have more influence over the proceedings than in court.
• An arbitral award is enforceable in more than 170 countries.
