Increase in arbitration disputes
Arbitration is increasingly preferred for dispute resolution. Higher competence, shorter processes and confidentiality have become decisive factors, and a court possessing such qualities can make a significant difference in extensive and complex cases. In recent years, Haavind has increased its share of arbitrations, with a significant rise in international arbitration cases in particular.
In arbitration cases one final award is rendered without appeal possibilities, making it even more important to cooperate with the best dispute resolution team. Haavind’s extensive dispute resolution experience ensures that our customers’ cases are processed in the best possible manner.

Arbitration – a trend on the rise
“Especially in the field of contract resolution – mainly in construction and offshore – we see an increase in arbitrations”, states lawyer and partner Johnny Johansen, adding that “we are also experiencing an increase in use of the arbitration institute in other areas of our business, such as ICT and Corporate.”
The number of international arbitrations and the scope of these is increasing, and Haavind has just assisted in one of the largest arbitrations in Norway.
Efficient processes has become key to why arbitration is preferred, and access to the right competence gives customers an advantage. “Judges having the right competence and experience provides assurance to both parties in an offshore dispute, ensuring a more efficient and structured process”, comments partner and lawyer Mikal Brøndmo.
Haavind has access to its own private courtroom for arbitrations, which has been used in a number of cases. At present, lawyer and partner Arve Martin Bjørnvik, who is one of Haavind’s most experienced individuals within the field of dispute resolution, serves as an arbitrator in a comprehensive construction dispute. Experience from the judges’ side of the negotiation table adds to the customers’ assurance that our experienced lawyers know what it takes.
