Arbitration – dispute resolution with expertise and discretion
Not every conflict belongs before a state court. Arbitral proceedings offer an efficient, confidential and internationally recognised alternative – with arbitrators who know the subject matter, proceedings that can be shaped flexibly, and awards that are enforceable worldwide.
The German Arbitration Institute (DIS) and the Swiss Arbitration Association (ASA)
Dr Froehlich has for many years been a member of the German Arbitration Institute (DIS) and of the Swiss Arbitration Association (ASA), and is thus firmly anchored in two of the leading arbitral institutions of the German-speaking world – active, in yet another field, across borders in international arbitration.
We accompany you through every phase of arbitral proceedings – from the drafting of robust arbitration clauses, through representation in the proceedings, to the enforcement of the award.

A further focus of our practice lies in the law of legal cost and expenses insurance, in which Dr Froehlich has acted by way of arbitral expert determinations since 2014.
If your legal expenses insurer refuses cover on the ground that your case lacks prospects of success or is frivolous, you need not accept this. The policy conditions provide for precisely this case: the arbitral expert or casting-opinion procedure (Stichentscheid) – a swift procedure, inexpensive for you, which resolves the question of cover bindingly without your having to sue your insurer.
For many years we have prepared such expert determinations in disputes between policyholders and legal expenses insurers, and we know from this long practice what matters – on both sides of the procedure.
Careful advance planning, weighing the opportunities and risks of an out-of-court solution
Whether a commercial dispute, an international contractual controversy or refused legal expenses cover: do speak to us. In a personal initial consultation we shall clarify with you which path of dispute resolution best safeguards your interests – openly, intelligibly and without detours.
We look forward to making your acquaintance and to hearing of your matter.
