Arbitration 

Overview

At Civitas Chambers, our arbitration barristers and qualified arbitrators offer specialist expertise. Members act for claimants, respondents and arbitral bodies across a range of sectors including construction, commercial contracts, property, energy, and professional negligence.

We provide clear, strategic advice throughout the arbitration process — from drafting arbitration clauses to representation at hearings and enforcement of arbitral awards. Members of Civitas Chambers are also available to act as appointed arbitrators under institutional and ad hoc procedures.

Arbitration Process

Arbitration allows parties to resolve disputes privately and efficiently outside court. It is often preferred for its confidentiality, flexibility and enforceability. Our barristers are experienced in managing arbitration from initial appointment to final award, ensuring proceedings remain proportionate and cost-effective.
