Advisory coverage

How TLGS can support you

  • Issue-based evaluation and evidence-sufficiency audit
  • Domain-expertise and conflict-of-interest review
  • Institutional versus ad hoc arbitration assessment
  • Claim, counterclaim and damages-analysis support
  • Pre-hearing preparation and post-award pathway review

Expertise, neutrality and procedural preparation

Commercial arbitration requires decisions about the dispute, evidence, procedure and the expertise needed from a neutral tribunal. TLGS helps clients organise those decisions before an appointment or hearing strategy is settled.

The service addresses uncertainty about arbitrator suitability, institutional versus ad hoc procedures, claim quality and the sufficiency of the evidence. It does not promise appointment of a particular arbitrator or influence over any tribunal.

  • Arbitrator domain-expertise mapping
  • Evidence and procedural-risk assessment
  • Institutional-rule and appointment-route review
  • Transparent, conflict-aware shortlisting guidance

Independent case evaluation and claim structuring

TLGS evaluates the contractual issues, alleged breach, evidence and damages analysis, including the relationship between claims and counterclaims. The result is a reasoned record for the client and counsel to assess.

The evaluation distinguishes procedural and evidentiary strengths from matters needing further support. It may inform negotiation, preparation or the decision to pursue an arbitral process.

  • Issue-based case analysis
  • Contract interpretation and breach modelling
  • Evidence-sufficiency audit
  • Damages-quantification review
  • Cross-claim alignment and counsel strategy notes

Arbitrator-selection guidance

The synopsis places neutrality, competence and conflicts at the centre of selection guidance. TLGS can map relevant professional backgrounds and review domain alignment for infrastructure, engineering, real-estate, commercial and shareholder disputes.

Institutional and ad hoc routes are considered with the contract and applicable framework. Appointment decisions and conflict disclosures remain governed by the relevant procedure.

  • Domain experience and relevant award review
  • Conflict-of-interest evaluation
  • Institutional versus ad hoc assessment
  • Suitability for the subject matter of the dispute

Documentation and hearing readiness

Preparation can include statements of claim and counterclaim, document indexes, exhibit mapping, evidence books and pre-hearing counsel notes. The scope also covers interim-application strategy and institutional rules identified in the synopsis, including SIAC, ICC, MCIA and DIAC.

Post-award support may concern challenge or enforcement preparation where legally available. References to procedural provisions describe the intended service coverage; their applicability is assessed for each case.

  • Claim and counterclaim preparation support
  • Evidence books and exhibit indexes
  • Interim-application and hearing preparation
  • Post-award challenge or enforcement pathway review
