We all try to live in a way that minimizes conflicts and disputes, but it is also clear to many of us that as we approach a key milestone \u2013 a wedding — we need to look after our interests. In preparation for marriage, many couples choose to sign a prenuptial agreement that describes in detail the division of property between them in the event that they eventually choose to divorce. Similarly, in preparation for a business partnership, parties can adopt clear provisions for dealing with any disagreements or disputes that might arise between them. One of the elements that should appear in any contract or agreement between parties doing business together is\u00a0a dispute resolution<\/strong>\u00a0clause<\/strong>, on which we will expand a little more deeply in the following article.<\/p>

However, before we dive into the details, here is an example of such a clause:<\/p>

The parties agree that any disagreement or dispute regarding the implementation or interpretation of this Agreement will be referred for mediation at the Israeli Conflict Resolution Center.<\/strong><\/p>

If the mediation is unsuccessful, the dispute will be referred within a month for arbitration at the Israeli Conflict Resolution Center before a sole arbitrator who will be appointed with the consent of the parties.<\/strong><\/p>

The arbitrator\u2019s decision may be appealed to another arbitrator from the Center, in accordance with the provisions of Section 21A of the Arbitration Law, 5778-1968, as amended.<\/strong><\/p>

The arbitrator will not be bound by the rules of evidence or by civil law procedures, but will have to rule according to the applicable substantive law in Israel and provide written reasons for his or her decision.<\/strong><\/p>

The parties to the arbitration shall bear the arbitrator\u2019s fees in equal parts, unless otherwise determined by the arbitrator in his or her decision.<\/strong><\/p>

What is a dispute resolution clause?<\/strong><\/h2>

Since we\u2019ve placed quite a bit of emphasis on the importance of this clause, it\u2019s worth being clear and specific about what we mean. A dispute resolution clause is a provision in which the parties agree in advance on the process they will use to address a disagreement, dispute or any other problem that creates legal or contractual difficulties between them.<\/p>

A dispute resolution clause should be included in any contract or business agreement. It serves as a kind of safeguard for a situation in which the parties have a disagreement that leads them towards some sort of legal process. One option when such a clause is being drafted is to agree that any disputes between the parties will not be resolved in the courts, but rather, through processes such as mediation and arbitration. When preparing such provisions, the parties need to decide together how the mediator or arbitrator will be chosen; this includes defining and requirements (such as the professional expertise) he or she will have to meet in order to carry out their work effectively.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
