About

Provided by Enhance Arbitration

Enhance Arbitration is a specialist arbitration firm. The firm commenced operations on 1 July 2025 as the continuation of the arbitration practice built at Van Doorne N.V. The entire team and its clients moved onto this independent platform.

Since 1 July 2025, the firm has grown in terms of client base and team members, adding a US qualified associate per 1 January 2026 and a counsel per 1 February 2026. This has been widely reported in the industry press. The team has deep experience in international arbitration and related court proceedings (including annulment and enforcement). We have acted under almost all of the main international arbitration rules, including UNCITRAL, NAI, ICC, DIS, LCIA, SICA, ISCID and SCC Rules.

We are active contributors to many industry bodies, including at the NAI, DIS and ICC. The latter involves co-chairing the ICC's Working Group on Expedited Arbitration.
