SCC Spotlight Talk: Lina Bergkvist
The SCC was among the first arbitration institutions in the world to provide for summary procedure in its arbitration rules. Summary proceedings can be an efficient way to resolve a dispute or material claim swiftly without the need for the full arbitral process. By breaking out issues it is possible to make the arbitration more time- and cost efficient. Lina Bergkvist, Partner at Zellberg Law Firm, has been engaged in commercial dispute resolutions since 2005 and in her view summary proceedings is a very useful tool.
