Technology arbitration & mediation
Technology arbitration. A decision in 30 days.
Tech disputes get stuck in court for years, and everything goes public. Here the process is confidential, fast and final, before an arbitrator who reads both code and contracts. Prefer to agree? Start with mediation.

Types of disputes
The disputes
we decide.

Who owns the code, the model or the invention, and what each side may do with it.
SaaS and SLAs
A software vendor that missed the uptime, performance or support it promised.
Founders and partners

AI and data projects
A model that doesn’t perform as promised, data, and ownership of outputs.
A dispute that must stay private
With a customer, vendor or investor, without making headlines.
How it works
30 days.
Four milestones.
The timeline is set in the arbitration agreement, so neither side can stall.
- Day1
Arbitration agreement
Both sides sign an agreement with a fixed timeline.
- Day7
Statements
Each side files a short statement with its documents.
- Day21
Review and hearing
A technical review of the code or system, and one hearing day.
- Day30
Award
A reasoned, written award. Done.
Why arbitration
What you get
that court can’t give.
- Speed
A decision within 30 days.
Instead of years of hearings, evidence and postponements.
- Confidentiality
Nothing goes public.
The process and the award stay between the parties. Your reputation stays intact.
- Understanding
An arbitrator who reads code.
No waiting weeks for an expert opinion just to understand what happened.
- Finality
An enforceable award.
A court can confirm the award, and it is then enforced like a judgment.
- Mediation
Start by agreeing.
In mediation the parties reach a solution themselves. If it fails, move to arbitration.
- Neutrality
No conflict of interest.
We do not sit where one party is an advisory client of ours or a company we are connected to.
Questions
What is the difference between arbitration and mediation?
In mediation the parties reach agreement themselves, with the mediator’s help. In arbitration the arbitrator hears both sides and decides. You can start with mediation and move to arbitration if you don’t agree.
Is the award binding?
Yes. An arbitration award binds the parties, and a court can confirm it, giving it the force of a judgment.
What do we need to start?
Both parties must agree to arbitration. If your contract has no arbitration clause, you sign an arbitration agreement at the start.
What does it cost?
The arbitrator’s fee is set in advance in the arbitration agreement, based on the scope of the case, and is usually shared by the parties. We’ll tell you exactly on the first call.
Confidential, fast and final
A dispute
that needs a decision?
