Drafting dispute resolution clauses in complex business transactions
Article Abstract:
Dispute resolution clauses for complex business transactions should be drafted to meet special needs of parties involved. Parties should consider many options, including whether to specify governing law, name negotiator qualifications, limit awards, identify arbitration location, define confidentiality, consolidate multiple disputes and include possibility of appeal. Clearly written clauses prevent future dispute over the arbitration agreement itself.
