Arbitration And Mediation Services

What is an alternative to often lengthy, rigid or costly court proceedings? Alternative dispute resolution (ADR). This is why Indigo Multitrade provides trade mediation and arbitration services.

Our mediation services consist of guiding parties in a dispute to work out a solution themselves. Indigo Multitrade mediator offers a neutral, third-party assessment of the situation and assists the parties in constructively voicing their goals and concerns.

Our arbitration services provide parties with a binding dispute-resolution procedure, which unlike court proceedings can be tailored to their needs, for instance in terms of time or procedural arrangements. It also allows matching arbitrators to a particular dispute, for instance, commercial arbitration, international sale of goods disputes, financial services disputes, and others.

Additionally, our alternative dispute resolution provides disputing parties with an opportunity to use mediation and arbitration services near them, limiting disturbances to the bare minimum. This may be of particular relevance in case of international arbitration or international mediation.

Members of our team are referenced as arbitrators on the lists of various arbitral institutions and frequently sit as arbitrators and mediators under the arbitration rules of the ICC. We will also gladly advise on whether ADR is an adequate solution to your needs and help to tailor it accordingly.

Commercial Arbitration
International transactions present unique opportunities and challenges for the parties involved. If cooperation does not go as planned, it may be more convenient to refer a dispute to international commercial arbitration. This allows the parties to control various procedural and substantive elements of the dispute-settlement process (including conflict-of-law challenges), keep costs at bay, or refer the dispute to a relevant expert. Sometimes, international commercial arbitration may also address parties’ concerns regarding due process.

We have managed access under various commercial arbitration rules, such as the UNCITRAL, regulations. We have experience in various sectors, including oil and gas, energy, construction, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, real estate, utilities, mining, insurance, banking, chemical products, IT, defence, FMCG, distribution, manufacturing, financial services, gaming, telecom, and transportation.

Depending on the substantive, geographical and legal considerations, we may handle your dispute by ourselves or team up with your legal team or counsel.

Our commercial arbitration consulting services range from the preparatory stage to the representation of clients in the course of arbitration to the post-award and enforcement phase. We also are eager to provide you with strategic advice regarding the advantages and risks of taking the commercial arbitration path, managing relationships with external advisors (e.g., an international commercial arbitration law firm or financial institutions), or helping you develop in-house capacity.

Complex Commercial Litigation
We advise and represent companies and individuals in complex commercial disputes before domestic courts. Unlike ‘standard’ commercial litigation, ‘complex’ disputes involve, for instance, multiple parties or numerous related cases, a large number of documents or witnesses, complex contractual arrangements, complicated financing arrangements, or substantial amounts of money.

Indigo Multitrade’s services will be particularly appreciated when a deep understanding of cross-border or international elements, and intra-AU judicial cooperation in civil and commercial matters, including matters of jurisdiction, the taking of evidence and the enforcement of judgments are needed. Our commercial litigation lawyers have successfully tried cases across Africa. We assist our clients in coordinating their legal defenses outside their home jurisdictions, working together with local-qualified lawyers.

While providing top-range commercial litigation services, we do not lose sight of the business side of each dispute. We understand our role in our clients’ operational risk-management policy and overarching business strategy. We remain mindful of the costs and benefits of litigation, keeping an eye on commercial litigation finance, insurance options, and other methods of cost optimization. We help our clients form informed opinions on the expected value of initiating, continuing, or withdrawing from complex commercial litigation.

Arbitration-Related Litigation
Even when parties have agreed to refer a particular dispute to arbitration (international arbitration), the matter may still have litigation repercussions, from challenging the arbitration agreement to requesting interim measures and conducting discovery, to enforcing (or challenging) the final arbitral award. We have broad experience acting in pre- and post-arbitration litigation at all levels of court systems.

Our exclusive focus on dispute settlement, matched with our broad web of partner litigation law firms and high cooperation potential allows us to cooperate on a case-by-case basis with law firms and external advisors. Even though our primary focus is Nigeria, our experience spans from West Africa to the entire continent of Africa.
