Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our TIArb services

The most appropriate TIArb method depends on several factors, including the nature of the dispute, the relationship between the parties, and the desired outcome. During our initial consultation, our experts will assess your specific situation and recommend the most suitable approach. Generally, mediation is ideal when preserving relationships is important, while arbitration may be better for complex technical disputes requiring a binding decision.

The timeline varies depending on the complexity of the dispute and the chosen TIArb method. Mediation can often be completed in one to three sessions over a few weeks. Arbitration typically takes 3-6 months from filing to award, though complex cases may take longer. In all cases, TIArb is generally much faster than traditional litigation, which can take years to resolve.

Yes, confidentiality is a key advantage of TIArb. Unlike court proceedings, which are typically public, TIArb processes are private. Participants sign confidentiality agreements, and discussions during mediation or conciliation cannot generally be used in subsequent proceedings. This privacy allows parties to speak freely and explore creative solutions without concern for public disclosure of sensitive business information.

Arbitration awards are legally binding and enforceable in most jurisdictions worldwide, especially under the New York Convention which has been ratified by over 160 countries. Mediated settlements can be formalized as contracts, making them enforceable under contract law. Some jurisdictions also have specific provisions for converting mediated settlements into court orders to enhance enforceability.

TIArb is typically much more cost-effective than litigation. Costs include administrative fees and the fees of the mediator, arbitrator, or panel members. These vary based on case complexity and duration. Many TIArb processes can be completed within a defined fee structure that parties agree to in advance. We offer transparent fee schedules and can provide estimates during the initial consultation based on your specific dispute.
