Ranking Table

International Arbitration: Investor-State Arbitration

Chambers UK ranks the best lawyers and law firms advising on international arbitration proceedings. This includes disputes brought at major seats of arbitration around the world, such as the ICC, the ICSID and the LCIA, as well as ad hoc proceedings. The solicitors we rank handle arbitrations concerning both private commercial disputes and those that arise between sovereign states and investors, including claims brought under bilateral and multilateral investment treaties. Some handle a mixture of both while others have more specialised practices. Several of the top ranked individuals here also have exceptional practices in the broader field of Public International Law, for which we have separate rankings. Please note that there is also a separate table dedicated to the most noted arbitrators in the UK.
