PRACTICAL VIEW

Four situations for UNIONE™

01

Before a dispute

Contract drafting, dispute clauses and enforcement planning can matter long before arbitration is started.

02

When arbitration is being considered

Parties and counsel may need structured support around procedure, tribunal readiness, strategy and institutional choices.

03

After an award

Enforcement can raise jurisdiction-specific questions that need to be considered separately from the arbitration itself.

04

When neutral help may be better

Some disputes may benefit from mediation or another neutral process rather than moving directly into a fully contested proceeding.

UNIONE™

Dispute readiness begins long before the dispute - in contracts, decisions, evidence, process and enforceability.

03 / WHEN TO USE IT

When UNIONE™ becomes relevant.

01

A contract is being negotiated.

Use dispute-readiness thinking before the clause becomes an afterthought.

02

A dispute is escalating.

Consider prevention, neutral intervention and arbitration readiness before positions become irreversible.

03

An arbitration is likely.

Map counsel, evidence, procedure, tribunal and enforcement implications early.

04

An award may need enforcement abroad.

Bring jurisdiction, asset and enforcement context into strategy before the final award stage.

THE IDEA

The best time to think about enforcement is often before the award.
