Financial Mediation & Arbitration

The Center for International Mediators and Arbitrators (CIMA) delivers specialized training and professional case management services in Financial Mediation and Arbitration, designed to address the unique challenges of dispute resolution within the banking, insurance, fintech, capital markets, and wider financial services sector. CIMA’s training equips financial professionals, in-house counsel, compliance officers, and dispute resolution practitioners with deep expertise in resolving disputes arising from loan agreements, financial instruments, investment contracts, regulatory enforcement actions, shareholder disputes, and digital finance transactions.

Mediation modules emphasize interest-based negotiation, confidentiality, and structured settlement processes, while arbitration modules cover procedural rules, enforcement of awards, and the interface between statutory regulation and private adjudication—drawing on international standards such as the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules and institutional guidance from ICSID, LCIA, and FINRA.

CIMA’s Financial Dispute Case Management Unit provides confidential, neutral administration of financial disputes, supporting parties through mediator/arbitrator selection, scheduling, documentation, and award rendering. This service is particularly critical in fast-moving financial environments where speed, confidentiality, and enforceability are paramount.
