What Dispuvent provides

Commercial disputes resolved. Without litigation.

Litigation and arbitration are expensive, slow, and uncertain. Dispuvent is WLA's structured pathway that resolves most cross-border commercial disputes faster and more cost-effectively — through a structured combination of evaluation, mediation, and expert determination.

Expert Evaluation — Know Your Position
Before committing to any process, Dispuvent provides an independent expert evaluation of your dispute position — strengths, weaknesses, likely range of outcomes
Evaluation
Structured Mediation — WLA Neutrals
WLA's panel of experienced commercial mediators coordinates cross-border mediation — with mediators who understand both legal systems involved
Mediation
Expert Determination — Binding Resolution
For specific disputed issues — valuation, technical questions, contractual interpretation — WLA expert determination provides binding resolution without full litigation
Determination
Cross-Border Enforcement Co-Practice
Where Dispuvent produces an agreement or determination, WLA co-practice handles enforcement across every relevant jurisdiction simultaneously
Enforcement
Litigation Avoidance Assessment
Before any dispute escalates, WLA provides a structured assessment of whether Dispuvent or another ADR pathway can resolve it more efficiently than litigation
Assessment
"

We had a €12m contract dispute across three jurisdictions. Dispuvent resolved it in eleven weeks. Full arbitration would have taken three years.

The process

How WLA co-practice works for this matter

Four steps from brief to co-practice team.

01
Brief Dispuvent
Describe the dispute — parties, jurisdictions, amount, and the specific issue in contention. WLA Dispuvent reviews within 24 hours.
02
Expert evaluation
An independent WLA expert evaluates the dispute and provides a confidential assessment of each party's position and likely outcomes.
03
Process selection
Based on the evaluation, WLA recommends the most appropriate Dispuvent pathway — mediation, expert determination, or a combined process.
04
Resolution
The Dispuvent process runs. WLA co-practice handles enforcement of any outcome across all relevant jurisdictions.
