View Chapter 4 - Drafting the Arbitration Agreement
"[American Arbitration is] an ideal place for both the beginner to gain a quick overview of the arbitral process and for the experienced practitioner to find answers to day-to-day issues and problems."
—Gerald Aksen, Arbitrator; former General Counsel, American Arbitration Association
In PLI’s American Arbitration, some of the country’s leading arbitrators provide the legal, institutional, documentary, and procedural guidance that can help you engage more effectively in this vital dispute resolution process.
American Arbitration enables you to understand the key laws and rules enforcing arbitration agreements and awards; pick appropriate arbitration providers, venues, and tribunal members; craft solid domestic and international arbitration agreements; secure preliminary injunctions and other remedies pending arbitrations; conduct arbitrations according to law, custom, and proven best practices; handle thorny arbitration issues such as multiple parties and multiple proceedings; and successfully challenge arbitral awards on substantive grounds.
Enhanced by planning checklists and sample agreement language that help to ensure the effective commencement, conduct, and conclusion of arbitrations, American Arbitration covers the laws, rules, techniques, procedures, issues, and trends specific to arbitrations in such areas as securities, intellectual property, international commerce, construction, and labor and employment.
Updated at least once a year, American Arbitration: Principles and Practice is an essential resource for professional arbitrators and an important reference for attorneys, company executives, and other professionals involved in alternative dispute resolution processes.
