When an arbitration is pending, the real fight is often over what happens in the meantime. Assets move, evidence disappears, and competitors keep operating. We pursue and defend interim measures in arbitration, including emergency relief, preliminary injunctions, security for claims, and asset preservation orders, so the eventual award still means something.
Emergency Arbitrator Applications
Most major institutions now offer emergency arbitrator procedures that deliver relief before the tribunal is even constituted. We file and defend these applications under tight deadlines, building the urgency-and-irreparable-harm case the procedure demands. We know which rule sets provide emergency relief, how quickly an emergency arbitrator is appointed, and what a tribunal will expect to see when it later revisits the order.
Asset Preservation And Security
A favorable award is worthless if there is nothing left to collect against. We seek freezing orders and security for claims to lock down assets while the case proceeds, and we defend against overreaching requests that would tie up your operations on thin evidence. We coordinate with local courts where a tribunal cannot reach the assets directly, since arbitral interim orders often need judicial teeth to be enforced.
Preserving Evidence And Status
Some disputes turn on keeping things exactly as they are, especially when source code, trade secrets, or technical records are at risk. We request orders preserving evidence and maintaining the status quo, and we frame them so a tribunal can grant relief without prejudging the merits. Our engineering background helps us explain to arbitrators why technical material is fragile and what concrete steps will actually protect it.
