Arbitration

Orient Law Firm represents its clients with the utmost professionalism before arbitration panels, through a specialized team with extensive expertise and high standards of legal competence in this field. Arbitration is one of the most prominent alternative dispute resolution methods and may be pursued either by prior agreement between the parties or when the contract in dispute includes a clause mandating arbitration instead of traditional litigation.

Arbitration is conducted by a panel chosen by the disputing parties and typically includes legal professionals as well as technical experts relevant to the subject matter of the dispute. Unlike court proceedings, arbitration hearings are not held in formal courts but follow procedures agreed upon by the parties or as outlined in the arbitration clause.

As an exceptional route for dispute resolution, arbitration can only be initiated based on a clear written agreement between the parties, whether included in the original contract or established through a separate agreement.

Arbitration is often utilized for resolving disputes arising from large-scale projects or specialized business sectors that require technical precision—such as engineering, accounting, technology, real estate, or other specialized fields. For this reason, arbitration panels often include at least one technical expert in the relevant field, enhancing the panel’s ability to understand complex technical issues and delve into the details of the dispute with depth and efficiency.
