Alternative Dispute Resolution

Alternative Dispute Resolution

  1. Arbitration Services

Arbitration is a private dispute resolution method whereby parties agree to resolve their disputes through binding decisions rendered by independent arbitrators, rather than through national courts. At GRC LEGAL, we represent clients before leading arbitration institutions including the Istanbul Arbitration Centre (“ISTAC”), International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”), Singapore International Arbitration Centre (“SIAC”), and London Court of International Arbitration (“LCIA”). Our services cover every stage of the arbitration process — from drafting arbitration clauses to selecting arbitrators, managing evidence, and formulating hearing strategies. We specialize in complex and high-value disputes arising from multi-party contracts, technology agreements, international trade, and infrastructure projects.

  1. Mediation and Expert Mediation

Mediation is a voluntary and confidential process in which parties seek an amicable settlement with the assistance of a neutral mediator. It is particularly suited to preserving and sustaining commercial relationships while offering significant time and cost advantages. GRC LEGAL advises clients on preparing for mediation, developing effective negotiation strategies, and engaging expert mediators for technically complex disputes. We aim to provide not just dispute resolution but a process that facilitates relationship repair and continuity.

  1. 3. Med-Arb (Mediation-Arbitration Hybrid Model)

Med-Arb is a hybrid dispute resolution mechanism that begins with mediation and, if unsuccessful, automatically proceeds to arbitration. This model is especially effective in long-term commercial relationships and sectors requiring technical expertise, providing efficiency and speed. GRC LEGAL assists with incorporating Med-Arb protocols into contracts, selecting suitable mediators and arbitrators, and offering strategic guidance throughout the process.

  1. Contract Design and Dispute Prevention Advisory

The effectiveness of ADR mechanisms largely depends on the preventive structuring of contracts before disputes arise. At GRC LEGAL, we help clients carefully integrate arbitration, mediation, or Med-Arb provisions into their domestic and international agreements, ensuring predictability and legal security. Our services include drafting clauses addressing seat of arbitration, applicable law, number of arbitrators, language, confidentiality, and expedited procedures.
