Arbitration in International Supply Contracts

The chosen dispute-resolution mechanism may be as important as the obligations contained in a contract. Cross-border supply contracts involve multiple legal systems and places of performance. A carefully drafted arbitration clause can reduce forum uncertainty.

What to keep in mind

Agree on seat, institution, number of arbitrators, language, law, service and enforceability against the relevant parties.

Choosing an institution without a clear seat or governing law may create avoidable disputes.

Distinctions often confused

The seat of arbitration and the location of evidentiary hearings are not necessarily identical.

Frequently asked questions

Must international arbitration be seated outside Argentina?
No. The seat should reflect the transaction and legal strategy.
What law governs the supply contract?
The parties should address applicable substantive law separately from procedural arbitration rules.
