We have been in international arbitration practice since the firm was created. Having been engaged in some of the largest and most complex arbitration disputes in Poland and in the region, we have gained a unique understanding of the nature of international arbitration. We have an appreciation of the differences between legal systems, familiarity with arbitration rules, practices and arbitral soft law, an understanding of the dynamics of arbitral tribunals the members of which come from different legal systems and legal cultures, and the ability to participate in proceedings held in a foreign language. We also have the skills to examine and cross-examine witnesses and experts, to manage voluminous documentation, and to coordinate parallel proceedings in several jurisdictions. All of which is necessary to handle international arbitration cases.
The members of our team are not only experienced but also regularly publish on the subject and improve their competences in the leading academic centres of international law and arbitration, such as MIDS in Geneva and the Hague Academy of International Law.
