In this short podcast, senior professional support lawyers Hannah Ambrose and Vanessa Naish look at some of the issues surrounding unilateral arbitration clauses. Unilateral arbitration clauses are dispute resolution agreements which provide for either litigation with an option for one party to elect to arbitrate disputes, or arbitration with an option for one party to elect to litigate disputes. This podcast discusses the benefits and risks of such clauses, enforceability issues, and key considerations for drafting.
