Arbitration and mediation
What assistance changes in this practice, what it does not change, and the time reduction actually observed.
Where the gain is real
Building the evidentiary record, multilingual chronology, published arbitral case law.
Where it is slight or nil
Choice of arbitrators, hearing, challenge strategy, the mediation session itself.
Observed time
