Dispute Resolution & Governing Law

Arbitration Clause

2
Court Proceedings

3
Governing Law
Jurisdiction laws governing agreement.
Action framework
ACCEPT
Propose edits if the arbitration location or institution is unfavorable.
EDIT
Reject if the clause imposes unfair jurisdiction or procedural rules.
ADD

PRO TIP
Always verify the neutrality and efficiency of the chosen dispute resolution mechanisms.
Real-world examples
FAVORABLE
Preferred Arbitration Clause
"Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of the [specified arbitration institution]. The arbitration shall be conducted in [neutral location], and the language of the arbitration shall be [language]. The award rendered by the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties."
NEUTRAL
Fallback Court Proceedings Clause
"In the event that arbitration is not applicable, the parties agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in the courts of [neutral jurisdiction]. Each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and waives any objection to the venue or convenience of the forum."
UNFAVORABLE
Unilateral Jurisdiction Clause
"All disputes shall be resolved exclusively in the courts of [one party's jurisdiction], regardless of the other party's location or preference."
Alternative scenarios & positions
High-Risk Projects
For high-risk projects, ensure the dispute resolution process is robust and includes multiple layers of review to mitigate potential losses.
Cross-Border Transactions
In cross-border transactions, select a neutral jurisdiction for arbitration to avoid bias and ensure enforceability across borders.
Small-Scale Agreements
For small-scale agreements, consider simplified dispute resolution processes to reduce costs and expedite resolutions.
