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.
