Arbitration Agreements for Complex Corporate Transactions

The chosen dispute-resolution mechanism may be as important as the obligations contained in a contract. Corporate deals involve shareholders, companies, sellers and guarantors who may sign different instruments. An arbitration clause must address the intended parties and claims.

What to keep in mind

Coordinate clauses across agreements and define scope, seats, appointment method, institution and multiparty procedure.

Inconsistent clauses can create parallel proceedings and jurisdictional challenges.

Distinctions often confused

An agreement signed by one group entity does not automatically bind every related company.

Frequently asked questions

Can several related agreements be covered by arbitration?
Potentially, if properly coordinated and legally effective.
Should guarantors sign the arbitration agreement?
Their consent and the nature of their obligations require particular attention.
