International Arbitration in Germany: A Handbook

In fact Germany boasts a well-developed system of arbitration which is streamlined, efficient and inexpensive, but which has been hitherto overlooked in favour of other jurisdictions. This new work by experienced German lawyer arbitrators, explains in detail the workings of the German system for international arbitration - the basis of its code, its institutional architecture, and its procedural features. Thus this work presents, for the first time, the full workings of the German system to an English-speaking audience.
