How We Work

How We Handle Commercial Arbitration Cases

Assessment & Strategy

Our commercial arbitration solicitors begin by assessing the dispute, reviewing the arbitration clause, and identifying the best legal and commercial strategy. We analyse the contract, jurisdiction, and potential risks to ensure the case proceeds efficiently and in your best interests.

Preparation & Case Management

Once the strategy is defined, our arbitration law firm prepares all pleadings, evidence, and witness statements. We coordinate documentation, build a strong argument, and maintain full procedural compliance. Every case is managed by senior commercial arbitration lawyers to ensure precision and control.

Representation & Advocacy

During the arbitration, our corporate arbitration lawyers represent you in hearings, procedural meetings, and negotiations. We handle communications with the tribunal and opposing parties, presenting your case clearly and persuasively to achieve the best possible commercial outcome.

Preparation & Case Management

Award & Enforcement

After an award is issued, our team ensures swift and effective enforcement. As an experienced commercial arbitration law firm, we manage recognition under the New York Convention and advise on post-award settlements or compliance to secure a complete resolution.

Private and Strategic Commercial Arbitration

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose arbitration over court proceedings?

Arbitration is often faster, private, and more flexible than traditional court litigation. Our commercial arbitration solicitors help clients choose arbitration when confidentiality, enforceability, or international enforceability are key. We handle the entire process — from drafting arbitration clauses to final award enforcement — ensuring a smooth, strategic resolution that safeguards your business interests.

How do commercial arbitration lawyers prepare a case?

Our commercial arbitration lawyers begin by analysing the dispute, applicable rules, and governing law. We gather and present evidence strategically, manage witness preparation, and develop a case theory tailored to tribunal expectations. Every step is designed to strengthen your position and ensure the most effective presentation before arbitrators.

What makes your arbitration law firm different?

Aldwych Legal stands apart as a results-driven arbitration law firm combining technical expertise with commercial understanding. We act on both domestic and international matters, offering strategic guidance that aligns legal outcomes with your business priorities. Clients value our responsiveness, precision, and proactive management of complex disputes.

Can you enforce an arbitration award abroad?

Yes. Our corporate arbitration lawyers regularly handle cross-border enforcement under the New York Convention. We work with local counsel to ensure that awards are recognised and implemented in foreign jurisdictions, turning favourable results into real financial outcomes.

Do you assist with drafting arbitration clauses?

Absolutely. Our commercial arbitration solicitors draft robust arbitration clauses for business contracts to avoid ambiguity and jurisdictional challenges later. We tailor each clause to reflect your preferred rules, seat, and tribunal, ensuring your contracts are enforceable worldwide.

What if the other party refuses to arbitrate?

If a party ignores or disputes an arbitration clause, our commercial dispute resolution solicitors can apply to compel participation or seek default awards. We act quickly to protect your rights and uphold the terms of your agreement, ensuring your case continues without delay.

Can you handle urgent arbitration matters?

Yes. Our arbitration legal services include obtaining interim measures such as injunctions, asset preservation orders, and emergency relief applications. We act decisively to secure your business position during high-value or time-sensitive disputes.

How long does commercial arbitration take?

Duration depends on complexity, number of parties, and procedural steps. Typically, cases range from a few months to a year. Our commercial arbitration law firm provides realistic timelines, clear communication, and disciplined case management to keep proceedings efficient and results-focused.

Should a website visitor seek to ascertain the nature of our establishment, Aldwych Legal, it becomes essential for us to clarify the intricacies of our professional classification. Aldwych Legal is a legal consultancy, not a traditional solicitors’ firm. As an international legal consultancy and legal support organisation, we position ourselves distinctly apart from the conventional categorisation of a regulated solicitors’ practice. It is of paramount importance to transparently disclose that Aldwych Legal’s operational framework and support services remain independent of regulatory supervision by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and the Bar Standards Board (BSB). Our multidisciplinary team consists of legally trained professionals who operate within the framework of unreserved legal activities permitted under the Legal Services Act 2007. Where a matter requires a reserved legal activity, we collaborate with, and where appropriate introduce clients to, carefully selected external solicitors and barristers from our professional network. These regulated practitioners operate under their own authorisation and regulatory obligations. Aldwych Legal continues to deliver high-calibre legal support, strategic advisory work, and comprehensive case preparation with the same diligence and rigour expected of any premier legal service provider, while maintaining full transparency regarding our regulatory status. For full details of our regulatory status and operating framework, please refer to our Legal Services Act 2007 page and our Terms & Conditions.
