    Arbitration clauses in international commercial contracts are often reused from existing contracts. By so doing, the parties choose to apply, for example, either ad hoc or institutional arbitration and the UNCITRAL, ICC, LCIA, SCC, Swiss or other arbitration rules without necessarily being aware of the consequences. Moreover, parties often assume that an arbitration clause has the effect of excluding any kind of interference from a court of law and of rendering any but the chosen law redundant. This book highlights the specific features of various forms of arbitration and enables lawyers to make informed choices when drafting arbitration clauses. Chapters explain the framework for arbitration, its relationship with national law, and the features of the main arbitration institutions in Europe. The book also highlights new trends in other parts of the world that may have repercussions on the theory of international arbitration.

    • Assessment of different forms of international commercial arbitration allows lawyers to make informed choices regarding the arbitration rules that shall regulate disputes
    • Provides lawyers with access to the most important features of arbitral procedures in a variety of countries
    • Identifies the variety of laws and rules which apply to arbitration, thereby assisting lawyers drafting commercial agreements or working on solutions to conflicts to assess which parameters have to be taken into consideration in their evaluation
