George Vlavianos and Vasilis Pappas authored the chapter, "Multi-Tier Dispute Resolution Clauses as Jurisdictional Conditions Precedent to Arbitration," in Global Arbitration Review's The Guide to Energy Arbitrations. The chapter explores the benefits and drawbacks of multi-tier clauses, and identifies how various jurisdictions around the world have addressed whether they constitute jurisdictional conditions precedent to the commencement of arbitration. This paper then outlines considerations for transactional lawyers and parties incorporating multi-tier clauses into their agreements, and how arbitration practitioners should deal with such clauses when they encounter them.
