Arbitral institution in Lithuania

An independent arbitral institution in Lithuania.

Purpose of the institution

Arbitražinis teismas organises arbitration proceedings for businesses, counsel and international counterparties that need a clear, neutral and confidential procedure.

1

Neutral venue

The institution administers the process and helps the parties avoid tying the dispute to the state court of either side.

2

Procedural clarity

Participants receive a clear sequence of steps, documents, notices and procedural time limits.

3

International focus

The procedure is designed for commercial, property and international contractual disputes.

4

Digital communication

Documents and procedural messages may be sent remotely, reducing organisational costs.

5

Transparent fees

The cost of proceedings is structured by categories of expenses and case parameters.

6

Three working languages

Communication may be conducted in Russian, English and Lithuanian.

Who the court serves

The primary audience is companies, entrepreneurs, investors and legal teams that include an arbitration clause in a contract or choose arbitration after a dispute arises.
