Why choose our Arbitration lawyers?
Our arbitration lawyers work closely with clients to devise the best strategy to protect their position and resolve the dispute. We advise on the selection of arbitrators, appropriate seat and institutions, use of industry experts, and we enforce awards against identified assets.
Our lawyers regularly appear as counsel or sit as arbitrators under the rules of major arbitration institutions. Several have been appointed to leadership positions with various arbitral institutions and organisations. These include representatives on the UNCITRAL Working Group on International Arbitration, the ICC International Court of Arbitration (including branch representatives in the UK branch); CEPANI, the CIArb (Singapore branch); the Belgian Court of Arbitration for Sport, Energy Charter Treaty Strategy Group and RCAN.
Financial institutions, global corporations, high-net-worth individuals and state-owned entities instruct us to advise on disputes across all business sectors, in all major arbitral centres including London, Paris, Stockholm, Dubai, Singapore, Hong Kong, Washington DC and across Central America.
