Overview

Our lawyers have established a formidable track record in international arbitration, consistently securing victories in a substantial number of high-profile cases.

We are committed to advising our clients throughout all crucial stages of a dispute: we engage with our clients before a dispute reaches its peak to evaluate all options before initiating a claim or anticipating a potential claim against them; and we provide essential advice on questions such as the constitution of arbitral tribunals, jurisdictional objections, multi-party and multi-contract arbitrations, participation of non‑signatory parties and consolidation of arbitration proceedings.

Harnessing unparalleled expertise in annulment proceedings both before ad hoc committees and the local courts, we also advise clients in relation to the enforcement of awards and judgments.

We are active in all of the major industry sectors, including energy, oil and gas, mining, construction, engineering, real state, financial services, transport, pharmaceutical/life sciences and telecommunications.
