What we do best

Over 10 years of experience.

The majority of disputes in the sporting arena are resolved by way of Arbitration – a private dispute resolution process in which the parties consent to the final and binding determination of their dispute by a panel of either one, or three independent and expert arbitrators. As a general rule, arbitrations are governed by the 1996 Arbitration Act and can also be managed in accordance with a sport’s governing body’s, or specialist independent dispute resolution service’s arbitration rules.

We are accustomed to advising on certain arbitration rules and procedures

The members of chambers at Mercantile Barristers are accustomed to advising on certain arbitration rules and procedures, taking instructions on advising on and drafting written arguments and evidence in accordance with a timetable agreed with the arbitration process and in accordance with those rules. Our barristers are also able to represent clients in arbitration proceedings and advise on the consequences of written awards.

Why Choose Us

Our Direct Access Barristers

Multifaceted & Interdisciplinary

Our barristers in London are cross qualified so you don’t have to go from one solicitor’s office on the High Street to barristers’ chambers at the Inns of Court.

Excellent Value

A barrister usually has lower overheads, so this will usually be more economical than retaining the solicitor alone and will cost less than instructing both.

Maximum Efficiency

You get the earliest possible direct access to the specialist – not just when a problem gets to Court. This could save you the headache, heartache and expense of avoidable litigation.

Full Transparency

You will normally know in advance the basis upon which the work will be charged, as well as your advisors view on likely prospects of success.
