Our team of lawyers has many years experience in international arbitration. We work in close collaboration with each client, making every effort to arrive at a commercially acceptable solution, whether by arbitration, ADR or a combination of the two.

While construction disputes remain a principal specialty, we have arbitration experience in many other areas of international commerce, including joint ventures and sale of goods contracts.

Our services cover the entire spectrum from advice on arbitration clauses and complex multi-party arbitration agreements to the enforcement of arbitration awards. We handle cases under many of the principal institutional rules including ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL and CIETAC as well as ad hoc arbitration.

We act for a wide range of clients including sovereign states and major international companies.
