Disputes can be a highly sensitive matter for businesses. Arbitration allows parties to deal with those disputes confidentially. Parties can choose arbitrators with experience in the subject matter of the dispute and tailor the procedure to fit the dispute. Arbitration provides finality, with limited grounds to challenge an arbitral award. It is increasingly the preferred choice for cross-border and multi-jurisdictional disputes.
We are highly experienced in resolving complex international arbitration disputes in a range of sectors across the globe.
With our international network of specialist arbitration lawyers in Europe, Latin America and North America, and Asia Pacific (see our Global Arbitration Map below), we can tailor cross-office teams to advise on local issues and complexities. We assist parties in navigating the unique aspects of London-seated arbitrations as well as conducting arbitrations in a many different languages such as Spanish in Central and South America and Chinese for Chinese clients. We are highly experienced in working in the following institutions LCIA, ICC, ICSID, DIAC, CIIAM, JAMS, AAA-ICDR, FOSFA, ARIAS, GAFTA, HKIAC, SIAC, VIAC (See our factsheets below). Our expertise is reflected in winning the British Legal Awards' International Arbitration Team of the Year in 2022.
We fully understand the intricacies and tactics of the arbitral process. We advise clients drawing on experience from both counsel's table and the arbitral bench.
