DIS (German Institution of Arbitration)

The DIS, or German Institution of Arbitration, is an organization that provides framework and rules for resolving disputes outside of courts, typically through arbitration. It offers a neutral platform where parties can settle conflicts—often in business or commercial contexts—by appointing a qualified arbitrator or panel to make decisions. This process is generally quicker and more flexible than traditional litigation, allowing for confidentiality and the ability to choose experts in the relevant field. Established to promote fair dispute resolution, the DIS plays a crucial role in international arbitration, particularly in Germany and Europe.
