✦ New - UNIONE™ DPC · Dispute Prevention Certificate
The contract is not
complete until it is
DPC-certified.
Every cross-border contract carries dispute risk from the moment it is signed. UNIONE™ DPC is the world's first institutional pre-dispute review and certification - Six enforceability safeguards, a designated Standing Neutral appointed for the duration of the transaction, and a uniquely numbered certificate that accompanies the contract.
No institution does this. Only UNIONE™.
ICC, LCIA, and SIAC engage when the dispute is already filed.
UNIONE™ DPC engages before the first milestone is missed - before
positions harden, before costs begin.

USD 2,500 - USD 75,000
Three tiers: Standard, Advanced, Complex. A DPC costs a fraction of a single arbitration day. The average international arbitration for a USD 10M dispute costs USD 350,000–600,000.
