Shopping for justice: strategic forum choices and the rise of international commercial courts in commercial disputes

One of the corollaries of international commerce in an increasingly globalised world is the emergence of cross-border disputes that transcend national borders and local laws. It is important that parties have certainty regarding the jurisdiction and dispute resolution mechanism that will come into play when a cross-border dispute arises.

When it comes to selecting the forum and format for resolving cross-border disputes, the relatively recent rise of international commercial courts (ICCs) has led to a broader selection of dispute resolution mechanisms for parties to choose from beyond international arbitration and national courts.
