International Arbitration is criticised for inefficiency and a lack of predictability. Parties don’t know how the arbitrators will react to their arguments and evidence. Our unique research processes reveal how arbitrators think, feel and make decisions about their case. Our PhD psychologists, sociologists and neuroscientists use case-specific data generated by bespoke panels of highly experienced arbitrators to predict likely outcomes and the key factors driving them. This helps clients make better-informed decisions, optimise their arguments, and manage cases more efficiently, saving time and money.
At Arbitration Sciences Limited, we don’t practice law — we apply science to it. Our team of behavioural science experts provide clients with critical insights into how arbitrators are likely to evaluate your case. The result? Clearer direction, smarter preparation, and a decisive advantage in high-stakes arbitration.
To help clients achieve a competitive advantage over their opponents through behavioural science insights.
When arbitration disputes involve claims in the millions or billions, threaten market confidence, or put reputations on the line, traditional legal methods aren’t enough. Major corporations and governments turn to us when consequences reach critical magnitude—where outcomes could reshape markets, destroy hard-earned reputations, or cost billions. The stakes demand every possible effort to secure an advantage.
While superficially appealing, these simulations lack scientific validity and reliability and offer limited practical value in formulating evidence-based presentation methods.
To help counsel develop effective, winning persuasion frameworks, we identify the overarching themes or “psychological/persuasion anchors” for the case based on psychological research that ties legal theories, facts, and witness testimony together. With our sophisticated behavioural science research methods, you can learn in advance:
This research can be undertaken at any stage of the arbitration to detect opportunities as well as vulnerabilities.
We transform rigorous behavioural science and psychological research into actionable arbitration tactics. Our research-driven insights help you understand how decision-makers think, what drives their judgements, and how to present your case most persuasively. We have developed through proprietorial research methods, critically influential approaches in some of the world’s most consequential international disputes in recent times — delivering the competitive edge that high-stakes arbitration demands.
