Disputes regarding M&A transactions are often subject of arbitration proceedings. Their inherent flexibility creates scope for manoeuvre that, skilfully handled, can significantly contribute to the successful outcome of a dispute. The tactical opportunities of the arbitration process - against the background of eight key jurisdictions - are introduced and discussed in this book:

- Selection of adequate proceedings
- Structuring the arbitration agreement (procedural rules, place and language of arbitration, multi-party situations)
- Preparing the proceedings
- Constitution of arbitration tribunals
- Interim relief
- Institution of proceedings and suspension of limitation periods
- Termination of the arbitration proceedings
- Measures against the arbitration award
- Recognition and enforcement of the arbitration award
- Annex: Comprehensive collection of relevant arbitration rules and national legislation
