Comprehensive arbitration expertise
Commercial arbitration, investment arbitration – our area of expertise is not limited but expanded by each case we work on.
During commercial arbitration cases, we have represented clients before such leading arbitration institutions as the ICC, LCIA, SCC, SIAC and VIAC, as well as other regional and local institutions; our track record also includes ad hoc arbitration. In investment arbitration we have helped clients with assessments of potential cases as well as with hands-on involvement in the arbitration proceedings.
Our arbitration team has a track record of successful high-profile disputes involving major claims, state and investor representation and highly complex landmark cases. Because of their established reputation, in-depth knowledge of law, solid experience and language skills, our specialists often sit as arbitrators for local, regional and international arbitration institutions, including the ICC and SCC.
International team with broad expertise
We bring together a diverse team of lawyers from different backgrounds, speaking multiple languages, and with a broad range of legal training and experience with arbitration, so that each case we work on receives the tailor-made approach it deserves.
Collaborating with arbitration specialists from various offices, we ensure our clients are thoroughly prepared from Day One and understand the nuances of arbitration. Where need be, our clients receive individual training for cross-examination or even a full mock-arbitration prior to the hearing.
Many of our people on the arbitration team are public opinion leaders, and as such are great at simplifying complex issues so that everyone can understand their essence.
Global arbitration support
Our extensive network of cooperation partners – law firms, experts, individual professionals – around the world makes it possible for our clients to receive quality advice about foreign jurisdictions, technical issues or anything else from a trusted source.
