International Arbitration
In today’s era of increasing globalization, cross-border commercial relationships between companies and individuals are on the rise, and resolving legal disputes arising from these relationships has become critically important. International arbitration is an alternative dispute resolution method that allows conflicts between parties to be resolved impartially and independently. CEKA Law & Consultancy Office offers comprehensive services to its clients in international arbitration processes, leveraging its extensive experience.
What is International Arbitration?
International arbitration is a mechanism that allows disputes, usually arising from commercial contracts, to be resolved by a private arbitral tribunal instead of national courts. Parties often choose arbitration as a faster, more flexible, and impartial solution. Arbitration awards are binding on the parties and are generally easier to enforce internationally.
Features of International Arbitration
Impartiality: Arbitration is conducted by impartial and independent arbitrators, which fosters trust, especially among parties from different countries.
Flexibility: Parties can determine the arbitration procedure and applicable law, making the process adaptable to their needs.
Speed and Efficiency: Arbitration proceedings are usually faster than court processes, saving time and costs.
Confidentiality: Arbitration hearings and decisions are generally confidential, protecting trade secrets.
International Enforceability: Arbitration awards can be enforced in a wide geographic area under international agreements such as the New York Convention.
Where is International Arbitration Used?
International arbitration is particularly favored in many areas of commercial life:
International commercial contracts: sales, distribution, licensing, and joint venture agreements.
Investment disputes: disputes between foreign investors and host states.
Construction projects: disputes arising from large-scale infrastructure and construction projects.
Maritime trade: shipping, cargo insurance, and other maritime commercial disputes.
Energy sector: disputes related to oil, natural gas, and renewable energy projects.
