Our Services
LIACourt offers two complementary mechanisms for international dispute resolution, binding arbitration and facilitated mediation, designed to respond to the specific needs of each case and the parties involved.
Professional Dispute Resolution
Two Mechanisms, One Mission
Whether you need a binding, internationally enforceable arbitral award, or prefer a faster negotiated solution that preserves commercial relationships, LIACourt has the mechanism suited to your needs and the profile of the dispute.
Both mechanisms are administered with the same level of rigour, confidentiality and dedication that characterises LIACourt's work. Our Secretariat is available to guide parties in choosing the mechanism best suited to their case.
Arbitration
A binding, private and internationally enforceable method for the definitive resolution of commercial disputes.
LIACourt arbitration provides parties with a final and binding award rendered by independent arbitrators, with enforcement power in more than 170 countries under the 1958 New York Convention. Suited for high-value disputes with technical or legal complexity that require a definitive decision.
- Final and binding award, internationally enforceable
- Sole arbitrator or a collegiate panel of three arbitrators
- Standard, expedited or emergency procedure
- Multi-party and multi-contract proceedings
- Flexible seat of arbitration — in person or by video conference
- Full confidentiality throughout the entire proceeding
Mediation
A confidential and voluntary process for reaching negotiated agreements with the support of a neutral and experienced mediator.
LIACourt mediation facilitates dialogue between parties through a neutral and qualified mediator, enabling mutually satisfactory solutions to be found more quickly and less expensively than an arbitral or judicial proceeding. It preserves commercial relationships and gives parties full control over the outcome.
- Parties retain full control over the outcome
- Resolution typically achieved in one to five days
- Significantly lower cost than arbitration and court litigation
- Preservation of commercial relationships between the parties
- Legally binding settlement agreement
- Available independently or in combination with arbitration
