Overview

As contracts, trade agreements, international investment and government interests shift, disputes can threaten to put plans on hold and cause reputational damage.

Many businesses and governments now use negotiation, mediation, arbitration and other forms of ADR to resolve cross-border disputes and avoid risks associated with traditional transnational litigation (cost, reputational damage, time, etc.).

We’re qualified to act as counsel in proceedings before major arbitral institutions such as the ICC, ICSID, UNCITRAL, LCIA and AAA and CCAC. We handle all manner of disputes, including those involving NAFTA or bilateral investment treaties. 

Private and public businesses as well as governments rely on our representation in commercial and investor-state disputes involving the construction, infrastructure, automotive, energy and mining sectors on almost every continent.

We offer cost-effective services and sophisticated international arbitration expertise, backed by the bench-strength of our litigation group. Our entire group has been repeatedly named to the Global Arbitration Review 100 (GAR100), an independent list of top arbitration resources worldwide. We have also been named Benchmark Litigation Arbitration Firm of the Year.
