Executive Certificate in Arbitration Drafting & Jurisdiction Structuring

Arbitration agreements determine the framework through which commercial disputes can be resolved outside ordinary court proceedings. Careful drafting is essential because ambiguity concerning the seat, venue, governing law, institutional rules, tribunal composition, or scope of arbitration can create jurisdictional disputes. Arbitration clauses must be designed to provide an effective and enforceable mechanism for resolving disputes. Transaction documents should also coordinate arbitration provisions with applicable court jurisdiction, interim relief, and enforcement mechanisms. This subject provides practical knowledge of drafting arbitration agreements and structuring jurisdictional provisions in commercial contracts.
