Synopsis

For many parties to international contracts, arbitration has proven to be the most effective means of dispute resolution. Too many of these agreements, however, still founder on the rock of a defective dispute resolution clause. This acclaimed book shows practitioners how to steer clear of that all-too- common obstacle by drafting fully-informed, comprehensive contract provisions at the outset. With this newly updated edition of the very successful The Freshfields Guide to Arbitration and ADR -- still in the concise, attractive format that made the original so popular -- lawyers and business people will confidently negotiate contracts that ensure a speedy, clear-cut resolution of any dispute likely to arise. Taking into account the many significant developments in the law and practice of international arbitration that have occurred during the years since the First Edition, it offers: + clear, uncomplicated contract-drafting advice, derived from the authors' wide practical experience + model clauses that ensure the effectiveness of dispute resolution provisions -- and avoid their pitfalls, and + important reference materials.

With this new edition The Freshfields Guide to Arbitration and ADR reaffirms itself as the preferred short guide for busy contract negotiators. It will help them to draft provisions that will weather disputes, preserve transactions, and foster long-lasting mutual confidence and trust among the parties.
