01 · Core architecture

Treat dispute risk as part of deal architecture - not only a disclosure schedule.

A transaction changes who owns risks, who controls live matters and which future claims are economically worth pursuing.

Diligence

What disputes or latent exposures are being acquired?

Live claims, threatened matters, contract risks, guarantees, settlements and procedural deadlines.

Allocation

Which party owns the risk after closing?

Warranty, indemnity, escrow, retention, W&I / transaction insurance and price mechanics.

Post-closing

What mechanisms can create new disputes?

Completion accounts, earn-out, leakage, covenants, disclosure and conduct.

Transition

Who controls matters after ownership changes?

Counsel, privilege, evidence, settlement authority, insurance, indemnity and recovery.

02 · Operating record

Build one dispute handover from diligence into post-closing governance.

The buyer should not rediscover material dispute facts after the people who knew them have left.

Matter register

Live / threatened disputes, forum, stage, value and next action.

Deal protection

Warranty, indemnity, escrow, retention, W&I / transaction insurance and conduct-of-claims.

Price mechanics

Completion accounts, earn-out, leakage and deferred consideration.

Handover

Counsel, privilege, custodians, evidence, deadlines and authority.

Recovery

Security, guarantors, insurers / indemnifiers, awards / judgments and asset routes.

Deal → dispute → recovery

The transaction team and the dispute team should not meet for the first time after a post-closing claim arrives.

Transaction Intelligence™ makes dispute architecture part of diligence, drafting, closing and integration.

03 · Connected routes

Move from deal risk to the specialist transaction page.

The gateway connects the transaction lifecycle rather than duplicating each underlying product.

Deal diligence

Identify what the buyer is acquiring.

Use Deal Dispute Due Diligence™ and inherited-litigation review.

SPA / post-closing

Design and manage the claim mechanisms.

Completion accounts, earn-out, SPA architecture and shareholder transition.

Security / recovery

Preserve practical recourse.

Use Post-Closing Security™ and Before You Enforce™ where value remains unpaid.

04 · Institutional boundary

Transaction Intelligence™ is a dispute-facing layer, not a full transaction due-diligence opinion.

Corporate, securities, tax, competition, accounting and regulatory work remains separately professional.

Professional boundary

Transaction law, accounting, valuation, tax, competition, securities, regulatory, privilege and domestic-law advice require appropriately qualified transaction counsel and specialists where applicable.

Appointment firewall

Fellowship, Sector Bench standing, Council participation, prior assessment, neutral involvement or visibility within UNIONE™ creates no entitlement to any later arbitral, expert or neutral appointment. Any appointment remains separately determined by the applicable procedure, independence, conflicts, party choice where relevant, availability and the needs of the matter.

05 · Lifecycle discipline

UNIONE™ begins with the decision - not with a presumption that arbitration is the answer.

The same matter may move through prevention, assessment, structured resolution, arbitration and enforcement. Each stage should exist because the business decision requires it, not because the institution needs another procedure.

Before the dispute

Contract + prevention.

Design obligations, evidence, escalation and operating governance before disagreement hardens.

Before arbitration

Assessment + resolution.

Test the claim, counterclaim, evidence, value, settlement and procedural alternatives.

Beyond the award

Recovery + learning.

Map enforcement reality and feed dispute experience back into contracts and enterprise governance.

Rules status

The current published UNIONE™ Rules v3.0 remain Full Draft / Effective Pending. Intelligence, prevention and structured-resolution services can operate independently where separately agreed. Any arbitration remains governed by the applicable arbitration agreement and rules in force.

Deeper intelligence

A fuller decision view.

This page combines the current 2027 institutional architecture with the deeper commercial and dispute analysis developed in the comprehensive Solutions build.

The institution can distinguish valuation, accounting and corporate issues without fragmenting the dispute.

The live UNIONE™ M&A / Corporate panel expressly covers earn-outs, completion accounts, representations and warranties, shareholder / JV agreements, PE matters and cross-border M&A Article 35 supports related-party / related-contract proceedings where consent and compatibility permit.

Transaction documents are negotiated to get to signing and the dispute architecture is tested only after post-closing positions diverge.

The transaction is mapped from diligence through post-closing outcome and enforcement.

Fourteen decision systems around the deal lifecycle.

Each module separates accounting, legal, governance, evidence and enforcement questions rather than pushing every issue into one generic post-closing claim process.

Identify future dispute surfaces before price and structure harden.

Design warranties, price mechanics, claims, expert routes and arbitration as one system.

Map statement, disclosure, knowledge, breach, causation and loss.

Current-status control. Earlier material has been retained only where it adds substantive decision value. Legacy claims on Rules effectiveness, universal ERR™, automatic appointments, fixed timings, unstable counts and historical Barcelona-forward language are not carried into this page.
