About us
The dispute institution built for cross-border business.
Prevent first, resolve fast, recover what you are owed. UNIONE™ is a jurisdiction-agnostic, AI-native institution that brings contract review, dispute prevention, independent assessment, mediation, arbitration and enforcement planning together in one place.
Start with the decision, arbitrate only when you need to
UNIONE™ is a new-generation, jurisdiction-agnostic, democratically led and AI-enabled institution for cross-border dispute prevention and resolution. We start before the dispute — reviewing contracts and clauses for enforceability — and stay through structured resolution, arbitration under UNIONE™ Rules & Procedures v4.0, and enforcement. We serve large corporations, the mid-market and high-growth cross-border businesses.
We do more than administer cases. You can come to us before you sign, before you file, during formal proceedings or once you hold an award, and lawyers, tribunals, courts and regulators keep their own roles throughout.
Before You Sign
Fix weak points while you can still change them: clause, seat and governing law, evidence, milestones, notices and prevention.
Before You Arbitrate
Step in before positions harden, with DPC™, early warning, a Standing Neutral where one is set up, and assessment of claims, evidence, mediation and settlement.
Arbitration
Run formal proceedings that follow your arbitration agreement and the Rules in force.
Before You Enforce
Turn rights into value with country guidance, Enforcement Readiness Note and recovery strategy, linked to qualified local counsel who take the steps on the ground.
Who we serve
Cross-border disputes look different at every size, so we offer three ways in.
UNIONE™ Start
For scale-ups: model clauses, AI clause checks and fast arbitration for smaller claims.
UNIONE™ Business
For mid-market companies: prevention on key contracts, independent assessment and expedited arbitration.
UNIONE™ Enterprise
For large enterprises: portfolio review, clause governance and prevention at scale.
One process, with clear roles
We coordinate the decisions. Local counsel, tribunals, courts, regulators and technical experts each keep their own role.
Central coordination
Online intake, central case management, structured analysis and access to specialists across borders.
Independent decision support
Contract, dispute and enforcement analysis built around your business question.
Formal dispute process
Arbitration or another process, where your agreement and the governing framework provide for it.
Global professional network
Fellows and Sector Benches bring real expertise. Standing never guarantees appointments or work.
Part of UNBOUNDED™
UNIONE™ is part of UNBOUNDED™, whose Global Business Circuit brings professionals together all year. It does not hand out cases.
Good to know
We work globally, but some steps must still happen locally under domestic law.
Being a Fellow, sitting on a Sector Bench or the Council, or having worked with UNIONE™ before, gives no right to appointments, referrals, clients or cases.
