Before the first filing
Good strategy starts with understanding the whole case: what the contract says, what the documents prove and what the other side is prepared to argue. With that map you decide which claims to bring, in what order and with what evidence.
During the proceedings
- Choose arbitrators carefully and know the rules of the institution administering the case.
- Prepare expert reports the tribunal can understand and verify.
- Arrive at every hearing with organized arguments and prepared questions.
Review and adjust
No plan survives intact. Reviewing how the arbitration is progressing at regular intervals lets you correct course in time and seize the opportunities that appear along the way.
