Map a tiered dispute resolution clause and diarise each step before arbitration
Key facts
- Human involvement
- YellowClose supervision
- How AI is used
- Extract every step the clause requires before arbitration (notice of dispute, senior executive negotiation, mediation, expert determination), its trigger, time period, content requirements and who must act, and build a timetable from the date of the client’s notice, flagging steps whose wording is uncertain.
- What the lawyer must review
- The lawyer decides whether each step is a condition precedent, how uncertain wording should be read, whether a step can safely be skipped for urgency, and confirms each date; the lawyer drafts or settles each notice.
