Breach of International Contract?
Resolve It Through Arbitration

An Unpaid Invoice Costs More Than Money

An unpaid invoice ties up cash flow, consumes management time, and often strains a business relationship that could otherwise continue. With international clients, you also face different legal systems, languages, and lengthy court procedures.

Many businesses wait too long because they see no practical option between an unproductive cycle of reminders and an expensive, years-long court case.

Arbitration fills this gap — neutral, structured, and with a binding outcome.

How the Process Works

Four clear steps from submission to decision — in 4–5 weeks.

Invite to Arbitration (1 Week)

01

Case Submission (2 Weeks)

Both sides submit their documents, contracts, invoices, and evidence independently and in a structured format.

02

Clarifications & Hearing

The arbitrator reviews the case, may ask follow-up questions, and can schedule an optional online meeting.

03

Decision (1 Week)

The arbitrator issues a reasoned, digitally signed award — legally binding and internationally enforceable.

04

Common Concerns

My business partner is abroad — which country's law applies?

That depends on the governing law clause in your contract. If none exists, the seat of arbitration and applicable law are determined as part of the process. Judial helps resolve this question as a first step — not as a barrier.

My contract has no arbitration clause — can I still start arbitration?

Yes. You can invite the other party to participate after the dispute arises. If they agree, the process can proceed. Many businesses appreciate this professional approach over an immediate lawsuit.

Is arbitration cheaper than going to court abroad?

Generally yes. International litigation can cost €50,000–150,000+ in advance fees and legal costs alone. Judial charges transparent fees from €500 — with a binding decision in 4–5 weeks.

My contract partner refuses to pay — how long can I afford to wait?

The longer you wait, the harder enforcement becomes. Claims expire, evidence degrades, relationships deteriorate. Arbitration gives you a clear, time-bound framework — without years of uncertainty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I resolve an international contract dispute without going to court?
Yes — that is one of the main advantages of arbitration. It provides a private, neutral framework where both sides can present their case, avoiding public court proceedings that can take years in an unfamiliar legal system.
What evidence do I need to prove a breach of contract claim?
The contract itself, amendments, performance records, email correspondence, invoices, payment evidence, and notices of default. The more complete your documentation, the stronger your case.
How long does arbitration take for a contract dispute?
Judial processes are designed for 4–5 weeks from submission to decision. This is significantly faster than cross-border litigation, which can take 2–5 years.
Can an arbitration award be enforced internationally?
Yes. Arbitral awards are recognized and enforceable in over 170 countries under the 1958 New York Convention — an international enforceability that state court judgments cannot match, since no equivalent global treaty exists for court rulings.
Does my contract need to be in English to start arbitration?
Not necessarily. Judial can handle proceedings in multiple languages. The procedural language is clarified at the start — so language barriers don't complicate the dispute further.
