We act in arbitrations and represent parties in arbitral disputes, draft arbitration agreements and clauses, and manage the related procedures.
Arbitration gives parties a specialist, confidential route to resolve disputes, especially in commercial, investment and construction contracts. But its success starts with the arbitration clause, long before any dispute arises.
We support clients at both stages: when the contract is written, to secure a clear and effective clause, and when a dispute arises, to represent them effectively before the tribunal.
We check the scope and validity of the clause and the rules it refers to.
We gather facts and documents and define the claims and defences.
We represent the client at hearings, file submissions and argue the evidence.
We pursue enforcement of the award, or challenge it, as the law allows.
Arbitration is a consensual process where the parties choose the arbitrators and rules, and it is usually confidential. Litigation runs through the courts under their procedures. Each has advantages, and we help you choose.
Yes. Parties can agree to arbitrate after signing, or even after a dispute arises, through a separate arbitration agreement.
Enforcement proceedings can be taken under the law. We handle them and follow them through.
