Arbitrato Internazionale in Turchia<\/h1>\nArbitration in Turkey became a very important dispute resolution tool in the past two decades. As leading\u00a0arbitration lawyers in Turkey<\/strong><\/a>, we are proud to successfully represent many local and international clients before leading international arbitration institutions such as the ICC, ICSID, and the Milan Chamber of Arbitration in high-value cases.\n\nInternational arbitration in Turkey has a crucial role in international trade and business relationships.\u00a0 Arbitration can be defined as the resolution of disputes through individuals called \u201carbitrators,\u201d rather than through Turkish state courts. In the Turkish arbitration law system, in today\u2019s business environment, the parties prefer to be settled via arbitration instead of litigation because of the impartiality, speedy resolution opportunities, and cost-efficiency that arbitration processes in Turkey. Indeed, the resolution of international disputes via international arbitration in Turkey takes between 6 to 12 months compared to a standard commercial litigation case in Turkey, which takes a minimum duration of 24 months up to 36 months or sometimes even longer. Another advantage of arbitration in Turkey is that it provides an impartial forum and an effective dispute resolution mechanism in Turkey.\n\nOur experience in Turkish Arbitration Law is well-grounded with international expertise and collaboration with our international legal network.\n\nAs well-recognized arbitration lawyers in Turkey, we have been representing many clients before the Istanbul Arbitration Centre (ISTAC), ICC (International Chamber of Commerce), ICSID (International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes), Milan Chamber of Arbitration.\n\n\"\"\n

ICC ARBITRATION (INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nICC Arbitration is frequently referred to by both Turkish and international companies in their contracts. As is well-known, the International Court of Arbitration is an institution affiliated with the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) that administers the resolution of disputes referred to it, according to ICC Dispute Resolution Rules since 1923.\n\n\"icc\n\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n\nInternational Court of Arbitration is composed of a chairman, a vice-chairman, and 50 members. The ICC Council elects the chairman and the chairman appoints the vice-chairman. The Council appoints the members upon recommendation of the ICC National Committees. International Court of Arbitration has a Secretariat to administer the arbitration cases.\n\nThe party who wishes to request arbitration under the ICC Dispute Resolution Rules must deliver their request for arbitration to the Secretariat. The Secretariat then notifies the Claimant and the Respondent that such request is received and the date of delivery thereof. The date of delivery of the request to the Secretariat is considered to be the beginning date of the arbitration procedure in all cases.\n\nWithin the framework of the ICC Dispute Resolution Rules, the decision on disputes must be made by one and\/or three arbitrators. If parties cannot agree on the number of arbitrators, the Council appoints a sole arbitrator. If the Council determines that it is necessary to appoint three arbitrators for the dispute, each party must nominate one arbitrator.\n\nAccording to the ICC Dispute Resolution Rules, the Arbitration Board must render the final decision in principle within 6 months. However, the Arbitration Board may extend the said period. The decisions of the arbitrators are binding upon the parties. ICC Dispute Resolution Rules can be found in the ICC\u2019s web site.\n\nAccording to ICC Dispute Resolution Rules, the Arbitration Board should make the final decision in principle within 6 months.

ICSID ARBITRATION (INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR SETTLEMENT OF INVESTMENT DISPUTES)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
\n\nIn 1965, the World Bank put a settlement and arbitration system into practice for investment disputes by establishing the International Center for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) under a convention. The Center is in Washington, D.C. where the headquarters of the World Bank is located.\n\nFor an investor to be able to refer a dispute to ICSID, (i) a record must be provided in terms of resolution of disputes by the request of arbitration before ICSID, which can be found in the agreement signed between the investor and the host state with regards to a certain investment; (ii) where there is a bilateral investment agreement signed between the state to which the investor is registered and the state to which the investment is made, the investor can rely on the provisions of the relevant bilateral agreement which grants jurisdiction to ICSID for the resolution of disputes; or (iii) the investor can rely on the provisions of multilateral international agreements. For example, where a multilateral investment agreement is signed between the investor\u2019s state and Turkey, such as the European Energy Agreement, the disputes that may arise between the investing company and Turkey can be settled by ICSID arbitration, even if the specific agreement does not contain an arbitration clause. ICSID Rules can be found from the ICSID\u2019s web site.<\/span>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

LONDON COURT OF INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION (LCIA)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
LCIA has been established in 1883 in London, especially for the rapid and economical resolution of international disputes. It is still one of the leading dispute resolution centers for settling international disputes. Although LCIA is based in London, 80% of the parties of disputes that are settled by the LCIA are not citizens of the United Kingdom, which makes LCIA a truly international institution. One of the main principles of LCIA is to ensure the amicable resolution of disputes if settling disputes is possible. LCIA Arbitration Rules can be found from the LCIA\u2019s web site.<\/div>\n
