Research Centre
Research that links arbitration law to business decisions.
Papers, comparative analysis and jurisdiction and sector research written or curated by UNIONE™. Each piece tells you who wrote it, when, and what sources it relies on.
What we research
Our research takes its time. It goes deeper than a briefing note and shows its sources, so you can test the reasoning yourself.
Procedure and institutions
Rules, tribunals, evidence and how arbitration works alongside the courts.
Recognition and recovery
Jurisdiction, State immunity, assets and enforcement of awards.
Prevention and clauses
What past disputes teach about drafting better contracts.
Commercial reality
Technology, energy, finance, construction, maritime and other specialist sectors.
How each paper is presented
Precision builds trust. Every publication carries the details you need to judge how far you can rely on it.
Publication record
Title, author, date and version.
Source note
The primary and secondary sources the analysis relies on.
Scope note
Research explains and compares. It is not advice on any country’s domestic law.
Review date
Time-sensitive work is reviewed and re-dated so you know how current it is.
Good to know
Our library contains only papers we have published or verified and can share with you.
