International and National Maritime Commercial Arbitration Disputes:

Recent years have witnessed an increase in the use of non-judicial methods for dispute resolution. This is due to clients and consultants seeking faster, less costly, and more time- and effort-efficient methods for settling disputes. Consequently, lawyers have increasingly played the role of mediators and arbitrators in mediation or arbitration cases attached to arbitration, and as a neutral third party in conducting early assessments of maritime cases. This is in addition to the increasing role of lawyers in other neutral advisory or decision-making roles.

Arbitration has become the preferred method for settling maritime disputes. However, arbitration procedures are not a viable option unless clients’ rights are entrusted to experienced lawyers in the field of maritime disputes. Our office provides mediation, arbitration, conciliation, and other non-judicial means of dispute resolution. We assist our clients in selecting alternative settlement mechanisms, drafting alternative settlement agreement clauses, and representing clients in them. Our office’s lawyers also play the role of neutrals and mediators.
