We represent domestic and international clients in commercial disputes of both national and international scope, providing comprehensive legal advice throughout arbitration proceedings and in connection with the enforcement of arbitral awards.
We act for clients in institutional arbitrations conducted under the ICC, ISTAC and other national and international arbitration rules, as well as in ad hoc arbitration proceedings. Our work includes the drafting and interpretation of arbitration agreements, development of dispute strategy, arbitrator selection, interim and conservatory measures, management of written submissions and evidentiary processes, and coordination of witness and expert evidence.
In addition to commercial arbitration, we advise and represent clients in investment arbitration proceedings arising from disputes between States and foreign investors under international investment agreements. In disputes arising under bilateral investment treaties (BITs), multilateral investment agreements and investment legislation, we advise on issues relating to expropriation, fair and equitable treatment, non-discrimination and other investment protection standards, and provide support in proceedings conducted under the ICSID and other applicable arbitration rules.
Our arbitration practice also covers:
- Drafting and negotiation of arbitration clauses and dispute resolution provisions;
- Representation of parties in domestic and international arbitration proceedings;
- Emergency arbitrator proceedings and interim relief; and
- Setting-aside proceedings, as well as the recognition, enforcement and execution of foreign arbitral awards.
We advise on disputes arising across a range of sectors, including corporate law, mergers and acquisitions, energy, infrastructure, construction and commercial contracts, approaching each matter with an understanding of both its legal and commercial dimensions and a focus on effectively protecting our clients’ rights and interests.
