What are the main advantages of arbitration over litigation?

Greater confidentiality, more procedural flexibility, and awards enforceable in over 160 countries under the New York Convention. For international commercial disputes it is often the preferred option.

Should arbitration clauses be included in cross-border contracts?

Yes. Specify the arbitral institution (ICC, Madrid Arbitration Court, etc.), the seat, and the applicable rules to have a clear resolution path if a dispute arises.

What is the difference between mediation and arbitration?

Mediation produces a voluntary settlement with no binding outcome. Arbitration produces a binding award that can be enforced by law.

Can an arbitral award be enforced in China?

China is a party to the New York Convention, so foreign awards can in principle be recognised and enforced in China, subject to certain requirements. We can manage the enforcement process.
