It depends on where the counterparty’s assets are located and on the need for confidentiality. In a dispute with a German distributor, a German judgment is easy to enforce; in multi-country networks, arbitration provides flexibility.
Enforceability usually settles it. An arbitral award travels under the New York Convention to over 170 states, Türkiye and Germany included, whereas a German court judgment needs a separate recognition step to bite abroad. So where the counterparty’s assets sit outside Germany, arbitration is often the more practical choice despite the higher upfront cost.
