If the parties cannot resolve the conflicts on their own, they can request for a commercial arbitration center to settle the dispute, instead of the national court. Commercial arbitration can refer to domestic and international commercial arbitration. Nowadays, using arbitration for dispute resolution is preferred to the traditional court because it offers the presence of specialized and experienced arbitrators, modern processes and confidentiality, as well as the possibility to save time.
