Fully updated, this new edition features leading experts in the field of international arbitration who provide legal and practical guidance on the key types of dispute likely to arise from M&A transactions and offer procedural and tactical tips for arbitration arising from them.

---

In an increasingly globalised and complex economy, arbitration is becoming the dispute resolution mechanism of choice for international M&A transactions. Spanning share purchase agreements, asset purchase agreements, shareholder agreements and joint venture arrangements, this is a huge area of commercial activity, giving rise to an expanding number of disputes. In the second and expanded edition of this title, leading experts in the field of international arbitration provide legal and practical guidance on the key types of dispute likely to arise from M&A transactions (eg, warranty claims, shareholder disputes, claims relating to completion accounts), and offer procedural and tactical tips for arbitration arising from them. The content also covers the fundamental questions of arbitrability, confidentiality, freedom to choose the governing law (and questions of mandatory law) and enforceability in a number of key jurisdictions. Together, the contributors provide a one-stop guide to the legal, tactical and practical aspects of arbitration in today's M&A market. The second edition contains not only valuable updates to the first edition, but includes new chapters covering a number of additional jurisdictions (including Peru and Poland). It also introduces a number of additional chapters on third party funding and warranty and indemnity insurance, as well as key concepts of valuation in the arbitration context, the quantification of damages for breach of representations and warranties. Whether you are a lawyer in private practice or are involved in M&A in the broadest sense, this commercially focused title will provide you with holistic, practical insight into the arbitration of M&A transactions.
