Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution

Today, more and more businesses are resorting to arbitration and mediation for the resolution of their disputes. We represent clients in both domestic and international arbitrations. We are familiar with the procedures and rules of all major forms of arbitration such as the International Chamber of Commerce, UNCITRAL, the International Center for Dispute Resolution, the London Court of International Arbitration, and the International Center for the Settlement of Investment Disputes. Many partners in the firm have been appointed arbitrators in various arbitration proceedings across many legal environments.

We present claims and frame the issues of a case in a way we are confident arbitrators will respond to. We are familiar with handling the finer and complex points of jurisdictional, procedural and substantive legal issues involved in the arbitration process.

International contracts typically provide for arbitration clauses in the event of disputes. With our multilingual lawyers trained in both the civil and common law systems, we are ideally suited to be in a position to coordinate arbitrations and enforce foreign arbitration awards.

Having taken part in countless arbitration proceedings, we are entirely capable of providing the type of guidance and assessment our clients are looking for when confronted with an arbitration proceeding. We also have a deep understanding of the business considerations and practices that arbitrators often draw upon in making their decisions.
