Commercial dispute resolution

Arbitration

A tailored process for resolving disputes efficiently, proportionately, and fairly.

Marty's Approach

Arbitration should not be litigation in disguise.

One of the reasons parties choose to arbitrate their disputes is so they can obtain a speedy resolution by the most efficient means possible. The arbitration process should not mutate into a private judicial system that looks and costs like the litigation process it is supposed to replace.

Parties choosing arbitration want it to be efficient, proportionate, and fair. Marty's approach is tailored to the needs of the parties, the specific circumstances, and the unique situation.

Marty is agile and responsive to the parties' needs and interests, and he uses creative methods to streamline the process to achieve efficiency without compromising fairness and due process.

His extensive trial experience and practical experience resolving difficult commercial disputes help him manage the arbitral process in a cost-efficient and timely manner, hear evidence, make findings of fact, apply the chosen law, and deal fairly with contentious issues.

Efficiency

The process should be managed from start to finish in a cost-effective and timely manner.

Fairness

Streamlining should never compromise fairness, civility, courtesy, or due process.

Commercial Understanding

A practical understanding of business disputes helps keep the process focused on the issues that matter.

Adaptability

The procedure should fit the dispute, the parties, and the specific circumstances.
