Per la maggior parte dei contratti internazionali, le clausole modello di arbitrato elaborate dalle istituzioni arbitrali sono sufficienti a garantire un procedimento arbitrale perfettamente funzionante e flessibile in caso di controversia. Le clausole di arbitrato modello sono state utilizzate in migliaia di arbitrati e sono state testate in battaglia, fornire una formulazione che è altamente improbabile che crei problemi giurisdizionali. Al fine di rimuovere una controversia commerciale da un sistema giudiziario nazionale e di sottoporla ad arbitrato in caso di controversia, tutto ciò che è generalmente richiesto è copiare e incollare una clausola arbitrale modello in un contratto internazionale.
Nel passato, era necessario inserire regole di arbitrato accelerate nei contratti al fine di garantire procedure di arbitrato semplificate per controversie minori. La situazione è cambiata negli ultimi dieci anni, però, come molte principali istituzioni arbitrali, come l'ICC, SCC, SIAC, HKIAC e ICDR, hanno integrato la procedura di arbitrato accelerata nelle loro regole di arbitrato, prevedere automaticamente procedure di arbitrato semplificate per controversie minori. Per esempio, le disposizioni sulla procedura accelerata ICC si applicano automaticamente alle controversie in cui (1) l'accordo di arbitrato è stato concordato dopo 1 marzo 2017, (2) l'importo in questione è USD 2,000,000 o meno e (3) le parti non hanno rinunciato alle Regole di procedura accelerata dell'ICC.
Sotto, troverai clausole modello per le principali istituzioni arbitrali internazionali del mondo, attuale da marzo 2019.
