Our arbitrators meet high criteria of expertise and professionalism. In many respects their ethical standards for accepting disputes are stricter than the rules set by the International Bar Association (IBA). For example, unlike the IBA rules, they are only allowed to accept two appointments from the same party within a three-year period. JŠK is also one of the few firms in the Czech Republic whose liability insurance also covers arbitration activities.

Arbitration proceedings have a completely different dynamic than court proceedings. We are well aware of this and adapt the content and form of our arguments accordingly. Whereas you cannot choose a judge, you can choose an arbitrator. And it is the choice of arbitrator that has a major impact on the course of each proceeding, and especially on its result. That is why we pay a lot of attention to their screening and selection.

Hana Císlerová, one of our lawyers and specialist on intellectual property law, is also one of the few arbitrators for international domain name disputes.
