Poland is a country with enormous economic and human potential, located in a strategic place—the center of Europe. Moreover, it has been a member of the European Union since 2004. Dynamic economic growth, qualified employees, and relatively low tax rates are attractive factors for investors. The location of our country also justifies growing aspirations in the economic field.

Faster and more effective resolution of international disputes

Polish business is increasingly entering into foreign cooperation. It is impossible to avoid disputes with contractors. For foreign entities, a national court is usually problematic, primarily due to the duration of the proceedings and the language barrier.

In such cases, arbitration (court of arbitration) is an excellent solution, and sometimes a necessity. Faster, confidential, and often cheaper, with the option of choosing applicable law, arbitrators – experts in each field, or the language of the proceedings—it is an attractive alternative to a dispute before a national court.

Poland – the center for modern and stable international arbitration

Poland has a long tradition of arbitration. Currently, we have arbitration institutions that hear hundreds of cases every year. Polish arbitrators and attorneys are thoroughly educated. Arbitration legislation and case law provide opportunities for the development of arbitration. The stability of arbitrators’ rulings is almost a rule. Permanent courts of arbitration change their rules to adapt to technological progress and contemporary challenges.

More and more foreigners appear on the lists of arbitrators, which makes it possible to hear a dispute under law other than Polish or using a foreign language. Domestic arbitration is constantly evolving. Poland, and especially Warsaw, provides convenient air and rail connections. Arbitration has long used remote hearings, so borders and distance are not an obstacle before the court of arbitration.

It is worth using arbitration in Poland, not only as a foreign entity. This is the right direction.

Arbitration—the future of international dispute resolution

In the face of global economic changes and the rise of international business cooperation, arbitration is becoming a more attractive form of dispute resolution for entrepreneurs based in Poland.  Owing to being flexible, quick, and confidential, arbitration not only fulfills the needs of international investors but also supports domestic companies providing them with a competitive advantage on the international market.

There are three crucial advantages that Poland has—it is its highly developed arbitration infrastructure, access to top-tier specialists, and the possibility to conduct disputes according to international standards.

Considering the dynamic development of the market and the growing role of Poland as a center for arbitration, the choice of this method of dispute resolution may become a key element of the strategy of each enterprise, which wants to effectively perform risk management and gain the advantage in the global business game. Arbitration in Poland is not only a pragmatic solution—it is a chance for success.
