Arbitration is growing in popularity as a dispute resolution method across a variety of sectors, and internationally. The law in this area is technical and complex, and a full understanding of how it operates is essential for anyone advising clients, or framing contracts carrying arbitration clauses.

The Arbitration Agreement
Sources of Arbitral Rules: Legislative and Institutional
Jurisdiction of the Arbitral Tribunal
Appointment of Arbitrators
The Arbitral Process Pre-Hearing
The Arbitral Hearing
