Drafting Slips Sending Arbitration To Winding, Pricier Detours


(MENAFN- Live Mint) The fine print in a contract can decide not just how a dispute is fought, but where, and at what cost. Leading law firms are urging companies to tighten arbitration clauses in their contracts, as ambiguous drafting continues to trigger disputes over where arbitration should take place and which courts have jurisdiction.
