Vinson & Company has developed a proprietary platform for delivering actionable insights to clients engaged in high risk, complex Commercial Arbitration Disputes. Utilizing behavioral data and sophisticated forecasting methods, our professionals work closely with counsel to help them make information-based decisions regarding their strategy and tactics as a dispute moves from the initial request for arbitration and response, to evidentiary submissions, to a final hearing. Among other things, we assist counsel to identify: (1) the potential thoughts, feelings and perceptions a Tribunal may possess about the parties, (2) panel dynamics, (3) areas of vulnerability and opportunities for persuasion, and (4) an assessment of the impact of counsel’s submissions and presentations. For more than 40 years, leading law firms and major companies from around the world have benefitted from our innovative methodologies and extensive experience.
Utilizing our Panels, we will be able to provide clients with a Tribunal’s potential views of:
-
- • The parties’ claims and responses
- • The key issues, critical facts and governing law of the case
- • The main witnesses or experts and their perceived credibility
- • Specific documents, visuals and demonstratives
We will also be able to identify potential sources of confusion, concern, or misunderstanding and anticipate the arbitral panels’ information requirements – what they are likely to want, need or expect to see in order to reach the desired conclusion.
And a significant aspect of our research involves testing the likely success or failure of alternative presentation strategies with carefully designed simulated “mock” presentations utilizing one or more test arbitration panels tailored to the anticipated composition of the actual Tribunal.
