International Arbitration
Sector focused litigation lawyers with strong arbitration expertise for international disputes
Our lawyers possess long-standing expertise in arbitration, the primary means of resolving disputes for the international business community.
Ensuring to tailor our involvement to the requirements of each case, we handle arbitrations of all sizes, from disputes settled on the basis purely of written submissions to those needing the involvement of a full legal team, counsel and experts.
We conduct arbitrations in all the significant jurisdictions and under the most used arbitration forums, including many under the UNICTRAL, LCIA, ICC, ICSID, ARIAS, CIETAC, HKAIC, SIAC and SCC Rules. We also conduct many hundreds of arbitrations under the specific governing rules of trade bodies such as GAFTA, FOSFA, LMAA, LME, RSA and LOF.
Our Partners serve as arbitrators and have been instructed as expert witnesses in arbitrations. We have advised both arbitral bodies and governments on their arbitral rules and legislation.
