New edition of Guide to Commercial Dispute Resolution

Mannheimer Swartling has published the fifth edition of Guide to Commercial Dispute Resolution (Guide till kommersiell tvistlösning).

The guide provides a structured overview of the dispute resolution alternatives available to parties, ranging from court litigation and arbitration proceedings to mediation and other forms of alternative dispute resolution. It also offers practical guidance for companies, in-house counsel and other stakeholders seeking to determine the most appropriate dispute resolution method in a given situation.

In addition to outlining the various dispute resolution mechanisms available, the guide contains practical advice on the drafting and negotiation of dispute resolution clauses in both Swedish and international commercial agreements. Readers are also provided with model clauses and guidance on issues such as the choice of governing law, the seat of arbitration and other strategic considerations that may have significant implications should a dispute arise.

The new edition has been updated to reflect recent developments in commercial dispute resolution and includes revised sections as well as new practical perspectives on issues of particular relevance to today’s business environment.

The authors of this edition are Robin Oldenstam, Kristoffer Löf, Jakob Ragnwaldh, Fredrik Ringquist, Åsa Waller, Robin Rylander, Hanne Aarsheim and Christoffer Monell, all members of Mannheimer Swartling’s dispute resolution group.
