We act for companies and states in commercial and investment arbitrations, from the first notice of dispute to the enforcement of the award.
International arbitration is the principal forum for cross-border commercial disputes, and it rewards preparation. We are brought in at the first sign of a dispute, when the choice of seat, the constitution of the tribunal and the early handling of evidence can shape everything that follows.
Our advocates appear before tribunals seated in London, New York, Paris, Geneva and Singapore, under institutional rules and ad hoc. We handle disputes arising from construction and infrastructure projects, energy concessions, joint ventures, shareholder arrangements and long-term supply contracts.
We work as a single team across our two offices, so a client has one point of contact wherever the hearing sits, and the people who prepare the written case are the people who present it.
