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. We also have strong
relationships with third-party funders to give our clients options to finance
their cases.
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 the ICC International Court of Arbitration (Paris); the peer
review editorial board for ICSID Review; the HKIAC Tribunal Secretary
Accreditation Programme; the Global Advisory Board for ICDR Young &
International; the ICCA Publications Committee; the CIArb (Singapore branch);
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, Singapore and Washington DC.
We provide clients with the benefit of our extensive
experience and deep domestic and international arbitration expertise.
