Cross-border transactions are common and when disputes arise out of those transactions, we can help you manage and resolve your disputes successfully.
International arbitration is the dispute resolution of choice for big business, insurers and organs of sovereign states. Unlike court-based litigation, it is a consensual and private process allowing the parties to select a neutral venue for the final resolution of their grievances, with the ability to enforce awards in over 170 states under the New York Convention. Many commercial contracts across a variety of differing industries and sectors contain arbitration clauses. When a dispute arises, you need lawyers experienced in international arbitrations on your side.
Whatever the jurisdiction
Our international arbitration team is experienced at advising at all stages of the arbitration process.
We advise clients negotiating agreements to structure their dispute resolution clauses (including arbitration clauses) to ensure they select the best forum available to resolve their disputes, maximising the prospects of recovery if they obtain a successful award or judgment.
Our team has handled institutional arbitrations for clients across the globe under the major institutional rules such as UNCITRAL, ICC, LCIA, AAA, DIAC, DIFC-LCIA, DIS, HKIAC, SIAC, SCC, GAFTA, LMAA, ICSID rules, the CAS Code and undertaking ad hoc arbitrations.
Our international arbitration team is also experienced in taking steps to enforce arbitration agreements, whether to prevent parties commencing litigation in breach of an arbitration agreement or in enforcing arbitration awards and recovering assets.
