Arbitration
Arbitration offers a confidential, efficient and flexible way to resolve commercial disputes, as it gives the parties involved the freedom to choose the applicable procedural framework and timetable and the rules on (witness) evidence and expert witnesses. Furthermore, parties are able to choose arbitrators, based on expertise and/or experience. In light of these advantages, arbitration plays an important role in the resolution of commercial disputes in the Netherlands.
The Lexence arbitration team has extensive experience in both domestic and international arbitration, including arbitration under the arbitration rules of the Netherlands Arbitration Institute, the Arbitration Board for the Building Industry, the International Chamber of Commerce, UNCITRAL and SGOA/ITDR-experts in IT and data conflict management, as well as ad hoc proceedings.
