International arbitration is most effectively handled by a team with global reach and experience. Our world-renowned international arbitration team, with more than 150 lawyers across the globe, is one of the few global legal practices with the experience and resources to assist clients from the onset of a dispute, through to enforcement of an award.
Because numerous jurisdictions and legal systems can intersect in one international arbitration proceeding, our team operates in cross-border teams, regardless of where they are physically located, which allows us to cover legal disputes all across the world. We know the sectors in which our clients operate – our lawyers are highly skilled legal practitioners with extensive knowledge across a host of key industries including financial institutions; energy; infrastructure, mining and commodities; transport; technology and innovation; and life sciences and healthcare.
Our lawyers handle some of the most complex, high-value and strategically important international arbitrations in the world, working closely with our clients to determine and achieve their commercial objectives in a quick and cost-effective manner. We advise on all aspects of arbitration, from drafting suitable clauses to advising on the type and seat of arbitration, the formation of a tribunal, arbitral procedure and enforcement of the award.
