FAQ
How long does an arbitration take?
Timelines vary; a straightforward domestic arbitration may finish in 6–12 months, while complex international matters can take longer. We prioritise case management to reduce time and cost.
Can I go to court instead?
Often arbitration is final and binding as provided in contract clauses. Courts have limited roles for interim relief and enforcement; our team advises on the best route per case.
