In our case, the quick answer is that we always do what you tried
to do, i.e. insist on NZ courts for any legal disputes. Thus far, that's
never been a sticking point -- perhaps we've been lucky. And
perhaps your client can be persuaded in time...
I'll be interested to see if anyone else has gone down the arbitration
path you're suggesting.
