Commencement in international arbitration covers how a dispute is formally brought before an arbitral tribunal. It typically begins with a notice of arbitration or a claim notice under chosen rules (for example ICC, LCIA, or UNCITRAL) and includes appointing or challenging the tribunal, identifying the seat and governing law, and serving documents on the respondent. A solicitor drafts and issues the initial arbitration filing, coordinates with international counsel, and ensures compliance with the arbitral institution’s procedural timetable. The process is shaped by the chosen rules, seat, and applicable law.
What a solicitor handles in these matters
The solicitor drafts and issues the notice or claim, organises supporting documents, and aligns the claim with the chosen arbitral rules. They coordinate with foreign counsel, prepare the statement of case, and arrange service on the opponent. They also handle early procedural steps such as challenges to arbitrators, requests for preliminary relief, and securing security for costs if appropriate, always in line with the arbitral institution’s timetable and the governing law.
