As businesses grow internationally, commercial disputes with foreign partners become more frequent. When negotiations fail, international arbitration is the preferred solution — due to its speed, confidentiality, flexibility, and global enforceability.
But…
Arbitration success depends on managing every legal procedure correctly — from filing the claim to enforcing the award.
This guide explains the most critical procedures that increase a company’s chances of winning and recovering funds in international arbitration.
🌍 Why International Arbitration Procedures Are Complex
International arbitration involves:
Multiple legal jurisdictions
Different commercial laws
Multilingual evidence
Technical industry standards
Enforcement issues abroad
Even a minor procedural mistake can cause:
Loss of the case
Award annulment
Delayed or failed enforcement
That’s why companies must rely on experienced arbitration professionals.
🧭 Key Procedures to Strengthen Your Arbitration Success
1️⃣ Initiating Arbitration at the Right Time
Delays allow the debtor to move assets.
Early action strengthens leverage.
2️⃣ Selecting the Right Arbitration Institution
Different rules = different costs, timelines, and enforceability
Major institutions:
ICC – International Chamber of Commerce
DIAC – Dubai International Arbitration Centre
SCCA – Saudi Center for Commercial Arbitration
CRCICA – Cairo Regional Centre
LCIA – London Court of International Arbitration
Correct selection can cut the timeframe significantly.
3️⃣ Filing a Strong and Well-Structured Claim
A persuasive initial submission includes:
Clear demands
Supporting evidence
Commercial justification
Competent arbitrator selection
First impressions matter enormously.
4️⃣ Comprehensive Evidence Preparation
Includes:
Contracts
Delivery records
Financial loss documentation
Correspondence
The strongest arbitration cases are built on strong business evidence.
Certified translation may be required — precision is crucial.
5️⃣ Strong Advocacy in Hearings
Effective representation includes:
Solid legal arguments
Cross-examination of witnesses
Expert report submissions
Tactical objections to the opponent
The advocate’s skill influences the tribunal’s perception.
6️⃣ Strategic Opportunity for Settlement
When timing is right, settlement can:
✔ Reduce costs
✔ Shorten the dispute
✔ Preserve business relationships
Negotiation is as important as litigation.
7️⃣ Award Enforcement — The Final Procedure
Winning is only the beginning.
Recovering funds is the real success.
Enforcement tactics include:
Bank account freezing
Asset seizure and liquidation
Port seizure of shipments
Local court enforcement actions
A well-planned execution strategy ensures full recovery.
