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.
