What to keep in mind
Check identification of rules, appointments, multiparty arrangements, language, governing law and pre-arbitration stages before signature.
Ambiguity is most costly when the dispute has already arisen and cooperation is scarce.
Distinctions often confused
A valid agreement to arbitrate can still contain procedural defects that make it difficult to operate.
Frequently asked questions
Can an arbitration clause be corrected after a dispute arises?
Possibly by agreement, but achieving consent may be difficult.
What is the best time to review the clause?
Before the contract is signed, ideally with the entire dispute framework in view.
