Arbitration

arbitration legal skills for GENERAL

Arbitration that crosses jurisdictions — a London-seated ICC proceeding applying Swiss law between a US claimant and an Asian counterparty — demands procedural fluency across multiple overlapping frameworks simultaneously, from institutional rules to the 1958 New York Convention enforcement regime. The arbitration legal skills in the ThomasMore catalog for cross-jurisdictional matters address exactly that complexity, covering procedural drafting, seat selection analysis, arbitrability screening, interim measures, and award enforcement across the major institutional and ad hoc frameworks. Each skill is agent-ready, available over MCP or as a download, so counsel can run a conflicts check against applicable arbitration rules, generate a clause tailored to a chosen seat, or structure an enforcement strategy without switching tools.

Because cross-border arbitration spans common law and civil law traditions, UNCITRAL-derived statutes and bespoke national arbitration acts, and institutional rules that themselves evolve, the catalog is built to reflect that pluralism rather than flatten it. Open-source contributors maintain these skills as leading arbitral institutions revise their rules and national courts develop their enforcement jurisprudence. For counsel advising claimants, respondents, or neutrals — at the clause-drafting stage or deep into a hearing — filtering by license or framework lets you match a skill to the precise procedural posture of the matter at hand.
