Overview
Why the clause matters
A poorly drafted clause can send a dispute to the wrong forum or make an award impossible to enforce. A few precise lines at the signing stage save months of procedural fights later.
01
You are signing a contract with a Ukrainian company
02
Your current clause is vague or outdated
03
You need a multi-tier clause with negotiation and mediation
04
You want to choose between ICAC and foreign arbitration
