Arbitration
Arbitrator and Receivership Appointments.
Selecting the right arbitrator is crucial to the success of the arbitration process. An experienced arbitrator brings not only a deep understanding of the relevant laws and industry standards but also the ability to navigate complex issues and ensure a fair and just resolution.
In the context of disputed commercial matters, a receiver is a neutral third party appointed by the court to manage the assets and operations of a business during litigation or bankruptcy proceedings. The primary role of a receiver is to safeguard the property in dispute, manage it efficiently, and ensure that the interests of all parties involved are protected until the legal matter is resolved.
Paul’s extensive background in complex business disputes positions him as a knowledgeable arbitrator or receiver who can be trusted to put in the work to understand, fairly determine or manage the issues in the matter and bring a just resolution to the case in dispute.
