WHAT WE DO
International Arbitration
We manage the full lifecycle of arbitration proceedings: seat selection and tribunal composition, bifurcated liability and damages procedures, complex evidential protocols, and enforcement strategy. We have particular strength in enforcement and anti-enforcement of arbitration awards—we have successfully challenged award enforcement on constitutional grounds, obtained recognition of English Court Orders for nine-figure sums under the Arbitration Act 1996, and secured freezing orders to preserve assets pending liquidation of performance guarantees.
The firm’s partners have collectively led more than one hundred and twenty arbitrations.
What We Do
We specialize in a diverse range of arbitration cases, including high-stakes disputes in real estate, maritime, oil and gas, construction, corporate governance and shareholders, intellectual property, and private equity investments. Our comprehensive experience enables us to navigate the intricacies of each sector, delivering outcomes that protect our clients’ interests and uphold their business objectives.
Real Estate: We handle disputes related to development agreements, leasing, and property management. For example, we successfully resolved a complex dispute involving a multi-million dollar commercial development, ensuring our client’s interests were fully protected.
Maritime: Our expertise covers charter party disputes, shipbuilding contracts, and maritime insurance claims. We recently managed an arbitration involving a major shipping company, securing a favorable outcome in a charter party dispute.
Oil and Gas: We manage arbitrations involving exploration and production sharing agreements, joint ventures, and supply contracts. Our firm handled a significant case for an international oil corporation, addressing complex contractual issues in a joint venture.
Construction: Our practice addresses issues in project development, contract performance, and construction defects. We effectively represented a client in a dispute over construction delays and defects in a major infrastructure project.
