PROTOCOLS

Practical guidance for recurring cross-border problems.

UNBOUNDED Protocols bring different professions and jurisdictions together around issues that are often handled inconsistently or too late.

01 / What a Protocol is

A voluntary guide that can improve professional practice.

A Protocol is not a law and does not replace local regulation or professional duties. It offers a clear, reviewed approach that firms, institutions and professionals may choose to adopt where useful.

Possible Protocol

Responsible professional introductions

How cross-border introductions can be made with context, consent, confidentiality and clear expectations.

Possible Protocol

Early dispute intervention

How parties, boards and advisers can identify neutral or negotiated options before positions harden.

Possible Protocol

Human judgment and AI

How professionals can use technology while keeping responsibility, verification and final judgment with accountable people.

02 / How it is developed

Research, consultation, review and publication.

A proposed Protocol begins with a defined problem. Relevant professionals and institutions contribute. A draft is published for review. The final text states its status, date, scope and review cycle.

1. Define the problem

State clearly what is going wrong, who is affected and why existing practice is not enough.

2. Consult the right people

Bring in the professions, jurisdictions and institutions that understand the issue.

3. Publish and review

Issue a usable text, invite adoption where appropriate and review it as practice changes.
