International Arbitration Rules Comparison

A downloadable comparison of the international arbitration rules in various countries, provided by the international law firm of Haynes Boone.

International arbitration is the leading method for resolving international disputes, but there are many rules to choose from.

Arbitration is commonly used in cross-border transactions and projects. It allows parties to settle disputes privately with experienced, neutral decision-makers, using procedures tailored to the specific case. While parties often choose their dispute resolution method during contract negotiations, they can also decide after a dispute arises. Parties can opt for institutional arbitration, where an institution manages the process under its rules, or ad hoc arbitration, where they can adopt a set of standalone rules or agree on their own procedures.

This comparison highlights the differences between the rules of the leading arbitral institutions and the typical ad hoc rules.
