Arbitrage is een alternatieve vorm van geschillenbeslechting. Partijen kiezen bewust voor arbitrage wanneer zij behoefte hebben aan meer regie over de procesgang. Besluitvorming vindt plaats door inhoudelijk deskundige arbiters, gekozen door de partijen zelf. Hierdoor sluit de behandeling van het geschil beter aan bij de specifieke aard en complexiteit van de zaak. Een belangrijk voordeel van arbitrage is de vertrouwelijkheid. In tegenstelling tot procedures bij de civiele rechter vindt arbitrage doorgaans buiten de openbaarheid plaats. Dit maakt arbitrage bij uitstek geschikt voor commerciële geschillen waarbij reputatie, bedrijfsgevoelige informatie of strategische belangen een rol spelen. Daarnaast biedt arbitrage vaak flexibiliteit in procedurele inrichting, snelheid van behandeling. In geval van (internationale) geschillen en overeenkomsten is de keuze voor arbitrage veelal zelfs welhaast een must, nu uitspraken van Nederlandse rechtbanken doorgaans niet afdwingbaar zijn in landen buiten Europa maar wel op grond van het Verdrag van New York.
Van Diepen Van der Kroef Advocaten beschikt over ruime ervaring in nationale en internationale arbitrageprocedures. Wij staan cliënten bij in complexe commerciële geschillen, onder meer op het gebied van ondernemingsrecht, contractenrecht, bouw- en vastgoedgeschillen en internationale handelsrelaties.
Onze advocaten treden in dat verband op in arbitrageprocedures onder verschillende reglementen en bij diverse arbitrage-instituten, zoals het Nederlands Arbitrage Instituut (NAI), de International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), de Raad van Arbitrage in Bouwgeschillen maar ook in ad-hoc arbitrage (arbitrage op maat).
Onze betrokkenheid beperkt zich niet tot de procedure alleen. Wij adviseren cliënten ook bij het opstellen en beoordelen van arbitragebedingen, de keuze voor institutionele of ad-hoc arbitrage en de strategische afweging tussen arbitrage en procederen bij de civiele rechter. Indien nodig begeleiden wij cliënten daarnaast bij procedures rondom de erkenning, tenuitvoerlegging of vernietiging van arbitrale vonnissen.
Kenmerkend voor onze aanpak is een strategische en pragmatische benadering. Wij hebben oog voor de juridische inhoud, maar verliezen daarbij de commerciële belangen van onze cliënten niet uit het oog. Wij sturen altijd aan op een snelle, efficiënte en oplossingsgerichte afwikkeling van het geschil; maar waar nodig procederen wij daadkrachtig en met volle overtuiging.

An alternative form of dispute resolution, arbitration is an option that parties deliberately choose when they want to have more control over the proceedings. Decisions are made by arbitrators who are also subject-matter experts and who are chosen by the parties themselves, ensuring that the dispute is handled more effectively in view of the specific nature and complexity of the case. A key advantage of arbitration is its confidentiality. Unlike civil court proceedings, arbitration proceedings are usually not public. This makes arbitration ideally suited to commercial disputes in which reputation, company-sensitive information or strategic interests need to be considered, while it also generally offers flexibility in the structure of the proceedings and speed of handling. Opting for arbitration is even virtually a necessity in most cases involving international disputes and agreements, as judgments of Dutch courts are usually not enforceable in countries outside Europe but are enforceable under the New York Convention.
Van Diepen Van der Kroef Advocaten has extensive experience in national and international arbitration proceedings. We assist clients in complex commercial disputes, including under corporate law and contract law, in construction and real estate disputes and in international trade relationships.
In that context, our lawyers act in arbitration proceedings under various regulations and at various arbitration institutes, such as the Netherlands Arbitration Institute (NAI), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and the Arbitration Board for the Building Industry, and in ad hoc arbitration (tailor-made arbitration).
Our involvement is not limited to the proceedings alone. We also advise clients on drafting and assessing arbitration clauses, on the choice of institutional or ad hoc arbitration and on whether arbitration should be preferred to civil court proceedings for strategic reasons. If necessary, we also assist clients in proceedings seeking the recognition, enforcement or setting aside of arbitral awards.
Our approach is characterised by strategy and pragmatism. We have an eye for the legal content while also keeping sight of our clients' commercial interests. Although we always aim for a quick, efficient and solution-oriented settlement of the dispute, we litigate decisively and with full conviction where this is necessary.
