About eBRAM
eBRAM is an arbitration and mediation institution combined with Online Dispute Resolution (ODR) and LawTech facilities. Our objective in providing this integrated service is to leverage new technologies to make dispute resolution more accessible to disputants. Our ODR facilities are designed to reduce the overhead in the management of cases and the friction caused by traditional administrative procedures. We hope that this frees disputants to put more of their focus on resolving their actual disputes, rather than spending energy disputing over the technical aspects of how to run their case.
eBRAM is one of seven qualified institutions under the Arrangement Concerning Mutual Assistance in Court-ordered Interim Measures in Aid of Arbitral Proceedings by the Courts of the Mainland and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. eBRAM is also one of five listed ODR Providers worldwide under the APEC Collaborative Framework for ODR of Cross-Border B2B Disputes.
In 2023, eBRAM expanded beyond providing ODR services through launching the Deal-making Portal (DMP), an online tool that facilitates cross-border transactions by using technology to help enterprises to identify and collaborate with potential business partners.
eBRAM provides a one-stop service for enterprises from the start of their cross-border transactions to contract completion, and to dispute resolution if and when disputes arise.
