Arbitration & Dispute Resolution

Arbitration can offer a private, flexible, and enforceable path for resolving a commercial dispute. Kugler Wechsler acts as counsel and as arbitrators in domestic and international arbitration proceedings.

Resolving Disputes Beyond the Courtroom

Not every dispute belongs in court. Arbitration and mediation can provide a private, flexible, and enforceable route for parties who need a tailored process, specialized decision-makers, or a faster path than traditional litigation. Effective alternative dispute resolution depends on selecting the right forum, managing the procedure carefully, and preparing the case with the same rigour expected in court. 

Kugler Wechsler is recognized for its arbitration and mediation work. Our lawyers act as counsel in domestic and international arbitrations across commercial, construction, bodily injury, hospitality, insurance, pharmaceutical, real estate, media, and retail disputes. We handle both ad hoc proceedings and institutional arbitrations administered by leading arbitral institutions.
