Make obligations measurable
The more measurable and testable the contractual obligations are, the clearer the discussion of breach or defence becomes in arbitration or before a court.
Control notices and document management
Many disputes are weakened by poor records of correspondence, amendments, and performance objections. Notice clauses and contract record management are therefore central to dispute readiness.
Review the dispute clause against commercial reality
The choice between arbitration and litigation, along with seat, language, and governing law, should fit the commercial relationship rather than being copied mechanically from a previous contract.
