A specialized approach to resolving technical disputes

Expert determination is a flexible and efficient dispute resolution process tailored for cases requiring specialized technical knowledge.

Under this method, parties voluntarily agree to submit their dispute to an impartial expert who provides a reasoned determination based on their expertise.

Why choose expert determination at PMAC?

Binding or non-binding decisions

Depending on the terms of the agreement, the expert’s decision can either be final and binding or serve as an advisory opinion to guide further negotiations.

Ideal for technical & IP disputes

This process is particularly well-suited for disputes where technical issues play a central role, especially in relation to patent claims, where expert insight is crucial for resolving complexities.

Complementary to other ADR & litigation

Expert determination can be used independently, alongside other ADR methods, or even in parallel with court proceedings – whether as a preliminary step or at any stage of the dispute resolution process.

Expertise

At PMAC, we provide access to a panel of highly qualified experts across various industries, ensuring that disputes are handled with the technical precision they demand.
