We have many years of experience handling complex high-value international arbitrations for clients across the world, whether seated in London or elsewhere.
We advise on all aspects of arbitration law and practice, in both ad hoc and institutional arbitrations, from drafting of an effective arbitration agreement to managing the arbitration process to enforcement. We also handle court applications and litigation arising out of or in support of arbitration, such as jurisdiction challenges, applications to stay litigation, injunctive relief and enforcement of awards.
Our experience includes:
- Acting for a professional services firm seeking contractual damages of EUR600m in an LCIA arbitration against an international network.
- Acting for the UK subsidiary of an international life sciences company in a substantial ICC arbitration against a foreign life sciences company. Our client was successful after a final hearing in Hong Kong.
- Acting for liquidators of a state-owned mining company, defending claims for damages arising out of the sale of mining interests in South Africa in an LCIA arbitration seated in London.
- Acting on behalf of a consortium of international telecommunications companies against a member of that consortium who had defaulted on its contractual obligations
- Successfully defending various European, North and South American subsidiaries of an international beverage company in a Zurich-based multi-million Euro LCIA arbitration commenced by a Slovenian supplier.
