FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
As arbitration is an alternative to traditional litigation, it is important that our clients understand the critical features of this remedy.
In arbitration, the process is conducted by an Arbitral Tribunal appointed by the parties. It is independent from the heavy workload of the courts and is subject to strict timetables set by the parties. This structure allows disputes to be concluded with a finalized decision in a much shorter period of time, sometimes within months.
Turkey is a party to the "New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards". Thus, arbitral awards are directly enforceable in more than 160 countries that are parties to the convention. This feature makes arbitration indispensable for international trade.
