Resources to assist counsel with US commercial arbitration and drafting alternative dispute resolution clauses and agreements.
In the US, arbitration is often viewed as a more efficient and cost-effective alternative to litigation. Commercial arbitration generally gives the parties greater finality to their disputes, limits (or even eliminates) expensive pre-hearing discovery, and offers more procedural flexibility than does litigation. The US Arbitration Toolkit offers a variety of resources designed to give attorneys a basic understanding of several important aspects of arbitrating commercial disputes in the US, including how to:
- Draft a proper arbitration agreement calling for arbitration in the US.
- Proceed before the American Arbitration Association (AAA) and other institutions.
- Appoint an arbitrator in the US.
- Secure interim relief.
- Obtain evidence from non-parties.
- Enforce arbitral awards in the US.
