Arbitration

Arbitration involves the parties to a dispute by a private agreement appointing an arbitrator to determine that dispute. Such arrangements may be created before the dispute has arisen, for example by the terms of a lease or other commercial agreement. Alternatively, a reference to arbitration may be agreed in response to a dispute.

Effective representation of a client involved in arbitration requires all the skills used in litigation together with a proper understanding of the law and practice surrounding arbitration, arbitrators and their powers.

Arbitration is one of our core practice areas.

Advocates in Arbitration 

Many Hardwicke Barristers specialising in aspects of commercial, insurance and property work have the skills and knowledge needed to act as an advocate in arbitration.

Hardwicke’s commitment to and experience in broader ADR also means that we can offer practitioners who are familiar with and comfortable in some of the newer developing forms of ADR such as ArbMed, which combines arbitration and mediation in an attempt to reach a binding settlement.
