Orrick’s lawyers act as arbitrators, whether party-appointed, sole or chair; have helped draft the rules for the ICC, OHADA and DIAC and have decades of experience in complex settlement negotiation, mediation and conciliation. They obtain from national courts provisional measures ancillary to arbitration, enforce awards against assets traced through investigation, and conduct proceedings to set aside arbitral awards.
