International dispute resolution
October 2016 | SPECIAL REPORT: INTERNATIONAL DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Financier Worldwide Magazine
October 2016 Issue
Any entity involved in business – stakeholders such as employees, suppliers, customers, trade unions, civil society groups and shareholders, for example – that happens to find itself at the sharp end of a dispute is potentially facing a veritable avalanche of trouble, accentuated by claims, counter-claims, accusations and aspersions. Furthermore, in an international context, disputes can be far more complex and challenging to resolve, requiring recourse to unfamiliar local laws, language and customs. The need, therefore, to resolve a dispute with international connotations in as efficient a manner as possible is obvious, and there are a number of dispute resolution mechanisms – such as mediation and arbitration – available to assist in this task.
