ARBITRATION & MEDIATION

FORT, a leading legal services provider in the Baltic states, offers comprehensive support in arbitration and mediation processes. Recognised by Legal 500 as a leading law firm, FORT's attorneys can aid clients by finding effective arbitration - alternative dispute resolution (ADR) methods. We try to match the specific needs and objectives of our clients.

Understanding Arbitration and Mediation

Arbitration is a private dispute resolution process that provides a legally binding outcome. During arbitration, an arbitrator (impartial 3rd party) decides the outcome of a dispute. The arbitrator's decision is usually final and enforceable.

Mediation, on the other hand, is different. It is a voluntary and non-binding process in which an impartial mediator helps parties negotiate; mediation aims to try to find and reach a mutually satisfactory agreement. Unlike arbitration, mediation allows the parties to maintain control over the outcome of their dispute.

When to Consider Arbitration and Mediation

Arbitration and mediation can be advantageous in various situations, including complex commercial disputes. Resolving intricate business conflicts requires specialised knowledge or a high level of confidentiality. We provide that.

Arbitration and mediation can provide a neutral forum for resolving cross-border disputes, avoiding potential bias in favour of one party's home jurisdiction.

In addition, we also provide these services in case of contractual disputes or for the goal of relationship preservation.

How FORT Handles Arbitration and Mediation

FORT's expert attorneys provide comprehensive support throughout the arbitration and mediation processes, including:

  • Case assessment;
  • Review of arbitration or mediation agreement drafts;
  • Representation of your interests;
  • Post-ADR support.

With FORT's arbitration and mediation services, there are numerous benefits you can take advantage of.

Expertise

Our attorneys have extensive experience in handling a wide range of such matters, ensuring the highest level of professional support.

Flexibility

We understand that each dispute is unique and tailor our approach to reach specific objectives.

Efficiency

ADR methods can provide faster and more cost-effective resolutions than traditional litigation.

Confidentiality

Arbitration and mediation proceedings are usually conducted privately, maintaining the confidentiality of your dispute.
