International Arbitration Outlook And the Selection of the International Litigator
Michael McIlwrath
If you read the press – or at least the law firm marketing materials that land on the desks of corporate in-house counsel – arbitration is in a full growth mode. In 2006, a major accounting firm even issued a purported study of international business and concluded that companies increasingly rely on arbitration as the preferred method of dispute resolution for their international contracts. But the old saw about not believing everything you read applies to international arbitration. These happy reports stand in stark contrast to the frustration being voiced – both in corporate hallways and at conferences – that arbitration has become a slow, cumbersome procedure obsessed with due process at the expense of the efficiency and clarity of the parties’ rights.
