GLC recognizes that arbitrations are becoming more frequent and complex as corporations and financial institutions continue to enter new markets against a backdrop of tighter regulatory scrutiny, higher accountability standards and intense competition. All of this creates higher costs and greater liability, requiring that litigation be avoided whenever possible, and resolved efficiently and quickly through arbitration. With our experience in multiple disciplines of law and practice areas, combined with our strong litigation team, we offer comprehensive arbitration strategies and case management for our clients.
