The Israeli Institute of Commercial Arbitration is the first and oldest institution in Israel for arbitration and dispute resolution. The Arbitration Institute was established over 30 years ago on a non-profit basis by the late Prof. Smadar Ottolenghi and the Federation of Israeli Chambers of Commerce, and since then it has been spreading the message of arbitration and dispute resolution in Israel. The Arbitration Institute is the only public institution in Israel in the field of arbitration.
After the late Prof. Ottolenghi, the presidents of the Institute were retired judges Amnon Strashnov, Dan Arbel and Ila Procchia, who worked tirelessly to promote and develop it.
The Israeli Institute of Commercial Arbitration provides an efficient and reliable organizational framework for the resolution of disputes through arbitration and mediation. The arbitrators are appointed according to the type of dispute (real estate, hi-tech, commercial, international disputes, etc.), and the parties can choose from a list of arbitrators who are ranked among the top arbitrators in Israel (retired judges, senior lawyers, accountants, engineers and other experts). The Arbitration Institute has rules that are well defined and fair, and it adheres to time schedules, ethics and discreetness and it allows for the possibility of appeal.
The staff of the Arbitration Institute performs its duties professionally, competently and fairly.
Over the years, thousands of arbitration awards have been issued at the Arbitration Institute. An arbitration award of the Commercial Arbitration Institute has never been annulled by a court of law, which is something we are very proud of.
The Institute’s staff and I would be pleased to provide you with mediation and arbitration services at the highest level, while adhering to deadlines and a fair budget.
Sincerely,
Dr. Menashe Cohen, adv.
