Drafting Dispute Resolution provisions
Sometimes all you need in your contract is a basic dispute resolution
clause. Some options can be found in the rules of the various arbitration
institutions, or in the IBA
Guidelines for Drafting Dispute Resolution Clauses.
However,
sometimes a bespoke set of dispute resolution provisions is needed.
Particularly
where there are more than two parties involved
in the project or where the parties wish to take a phased approach
to dispute resolution.
For example, trying to resolve matters through mediation and them moving on to other forms of dispute resolution such as expert determination or arbitration, if the matter is not resolved at the mediation stage.
Nicole has advised client’s on their dispute resolution provision requirements for many years. Nicole advised the Lead Contractor on the dispute resolution provisions in one of the UK’s most complex and high value PPP projects. Nicole is available to advise on simple arbitration clauses, provisions for multi-party construction projects and everything in between.
