Arbitration
GlobalB Law advises and represents clients in domestic and international arbitration proceedings, providing a confidential, enforceable alternative to court litigation for cross-border commercial disputes.
International arbitration is the preferred dispute resolution mechanism for cross-border technology, fintech, and investment transactions, and for good reason. Awards rendered under ICC, LCIA, SIAC, ISTAC, or UNCITRAL rules are enforceable in over 170 countries under the New York Convention, providing certainty that a domestic court judgment often cannot match. GlobalB Law advises clients on arbitration clauses at the contracting stage and represents them as claimants or respondents when disputes arise.
Our arbitration practice spans commercial, investment, and technology disputes. We handle the full spectrum of proceedings: drafting requests for arbitration and statements of defence, managing document production and witness preparation, instructing expert witnesses on technical and financial matters, and presenting oral argument before tribunals seated in Istanbul, London, Geneva, Singapore, or elsewhere. For clients with Turkish-law or Turkish-seat matters, we also appear before the Istanbul Arbitration Centre (ISTAC) and Turkish courts in annulment or enforcement proceedings.
We pay particular attention to the arbitration clause itself. A poorly drafted clause, ambiguous seat, undefined rules, missing governing law, can derail proceedings before they begin. We review and negotiate arbitration clauses as a standard part of our transactional work, so disputes, if they arise, proceed on a solid procedural foundation.

پرسشهای متداول
پرسشهای پرتکرار
Why choose arbitration over litigation for international disputes?
Arbitration offers a neutral forum, a choice of seat and governing law, confidentiality, and, critically, an award enforceable in over 170 countries under the New York Convention. For cross-border disputes, this enforcement reach is difficult to replicate through court litigation.
Which arbitration rules do you recommend for technology contracts?
It depends on the parties and deal size. ICC and LCIA offer well-established procedural frameworks and are widely accepted globally. ISTAC is efficient and well-regarded for Turkish-seat matters. We advise on the right rules, seat, and governing law at the contracting stage.
Can arbitration awards be challenged or set aside?
Awards can be challenged in the courts of the seat on limited procedural grounds, such as lack of jurisdiction, violation of due process, or public-policy conflicts. Substantive merits review is generally not available, which is one of arbitration's key features.
How long does international arbitration typically take?
Expedited proceedings under ICC or LCIA rules can conclude within 6–9 months. Standard proceedings range from 18 months to over two years, depending on complexity, document volume, and tribunal scheduling.
