ALP NG & Co. Model Arbitration Clause

Despite the fundamental nature of the arbitration agreement to the arbitration process, experience has shown that parties hardly devote adequate time to the negotiation of arbitration clauses in their contracts and this sometimes comes with far reaching consequences, especially when the arbitration clause ultimately proves pathological. For this reason, and as part of our contribution to the continued growth and development of commercial arbitration in Nigeria, the ALP Dispute Resolution team has put together the attached Model Arbitration Clauses to assist legal departments, fellow counsel, and the general commercial community in the drafting and negotiation of arbitration clauses.
