International Arbitration

International arbitration refers to disputes between commercial or state entities which are resolved through private adjudication.

Over the past few years we have successfully represented sovereign authorities in their defences of over half a billion USD worth of arbitration cases, mainly investment related.

We have conducted arbitrations before the International Chamber of Commerce as well as those managed by the Permanent Court of Arbitration.

We appear before both institutional and ad hoc arbitration tribunals. Our Principal Partner is now recognised amongst some governments as “the go to” lawyer when considering contesting complex high value arbitration claims.
