What is commercial arbitration and how can Aldwych Legal help in Bradford?

Commercial arbitration is a private dispute resolution process where a neutral arbitrator issues a binding decision outside court. Aldwych Legal advises on strategy, drafts arbitration clauses, selects appropriate tribunals, and represents clients throughout proceedings to secure timely and enforceable outcomes.

How long does a typical commercial arbitration process take?

Most commercial arbitrations in the UK conclude within six to twelve months, depending on complexity, document exchange, hearing length, and arbitrator availability.

What preparation is required before starting arbitration proceedings?

Preparation involves identifying key issues, preserving evidence, gathering documents, and developing a clear legal and commercial strategy before issuing formal claims.

What are the costs involved in commercial arbitration and how are they calculated?

Costs may include arbitrator fees, administrative charges, legal representation, and expert costs. We provide transparent estimates and manage costs through proportionate procedures and strategic planning.

What is the role of a commercial arbitration solicitor versus a barrister?

A solicitor manages case preparation, documentation, and client coordination, while a barrister provides specialist advocacy at hearings. Together, they present a unified and effective case strategy.

How does enforcement of arbitral awards work in the UK?

Arbitral awards are generally enforceable through the courts in the same way as judgments. We assist with recognition, enforcement proceedings, and addressing any challenges raised by the opposing party.

Can commercial disputes be resolved by expedited arbitration procedures?

Yes. Certain disputes qualify for expedited procedures depending on the arbitration rules and case complexity. We assess suitability and design streamlined timetables to balance speed and fairness.
