Arbitration, mediation and enforcement readiness.
When a cross-border dispute arises, the choices made in the first weeks matter: whether to negotiate, mediate or arbitrate, which assets could satisfy an award, and whether the forum chosen can deliver an enforceable result. The 1958 New York Convention and the Singapore Convention on Mediation shape what is possible.
What the business is trying to achieve.
General Counsel, management and investors facing a cross-border dispute, or preparing in case one arises.
An informed choice of route, with the enforcement position understood before significant costs are incurred.
From objective to agreed work.
Each step is agreed before it starts. Specialist firms are engaged by you directly and remain responsible for their own advice.
Your commercial objective, markets and constraints are reviewed, and the requirement is restated in plain language.
The decisions are organised in order, with the evidence each depends on and the questions that need qualified advice.
The disciplines and firms needed are identified across the six institutions and the independent firms beyond them.
If you proceed, the coordination scope, deliverables and any coordination fee are agreed in writing.
Where contracted, UNBOUNDED coordinates the work plan, milestones and decision points with the engaged firms.
Defined deliverables.
The deliverables that apply depend on the agreed scope. Professional deliverables, such as opinions, filings and documents, come from the firms you engage.
International arbitration, mediation, litigation, asset tracing and enforcement.
Clear terms.
UNBOUNDED's role is research and coordination. Regulated legal, tax, audit, financial and other professional advice is provided only under separate engagements.
UNBOUNDED does not represent parties, appoint arbitrators or fund claims. Neutrals are identified only for their independence and relevant experience.
Submitting a requirement is free. A coordination fee, where one applies, is agreed in writing once the scope is known. Professional fees are agreed with the firms directly.
UNBOUNDED never takes a referral or success fee from any firm.
Nothing confidential is needed at first contact. Private requirements are never used as general research or for AI training.
A European supplier holds an unpaid invoice against a buyer in another region. It wants to know whether mediation is realistic, where an arbitral award could be enforced and what evidence to preserve.
This example describes a typical situation for explanation only. It does not describe a client, a result or an endorsement.
How to proceed.
Submit the business objective. UNBOUNDED reviews the appropriate next step and, where relevant, proposes a scoped Corridor File.
