Aceris Law has assisted a Filipino respondent in obtaining the successful resolution of a JAMS international arbitration under California law brought against it.
The JAMS arbitration, initiated by a U.S. public company specialising in computer network infrastructure, was brought against the Filipino company in relation to alleged breaches of a contract. 
The arbitration involved parallel criminal proceedings taking place in the Republic of the Philippines.
Following the Parties’ submissions on the merits, Aceris assisted its client in settling all related disputes, on favourable terms for its client.
William Kirtley, Nina Jankovic and Andrian Beregoi primarily served as legal advisers.
“We are always pleased when Aceris can help our client reach its objectives in a cost-effective manner,” said William Kirtley, the principal of Aceris Law. “We will always suggest what is in our client’s interests, be it seeing an arbitration through until a final award, or amicable settlement. Like litigation, arbitration can waste considerable sums of money, time and talent. When settlement is envisageable on fair terms for our client, as was the case here, we will not hesitate to explore this option.”
