We have specialist expertise as Counsel in all aspects of international commercial arbitration and investment treaty arbitration – from initial advice, commencement of the arbitration, drafting written submissions, conduct and management of the arbitration, specialist advocacy in all procedural and evidentiary hearings, cost submissions, challenges to the award, to international enforcement of the award.
Members have extensive global experience of institutional and ad hoc arbitrations conducted under a variety of procedural laws and rules, including, all of the leading arbitral institutions such as ICC, LCIA, SIAC, HKIAC, LMAA, DIAC, AAA and ad hoc arbitrations, including UNCITRAL, conducted across multiple jurisdictions including Europe, Africa, Middle East, Asia Pacific, Caribbean and CIS.
Members also have extensive global experience of investment treaty arbitrations conducted under ICSID, as well as under many Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs) and Multilateral Investment Treaties (MITs). One of our members was involved in the first ICSID investment treaty arbitration under the Energy Charter Treaty – AES v Republic of Hungary.
We also have expertise as international arbitrators, with some of our arbitration counsel being appointed to the leading arbitrator panels such as ICC, LCIA, SIAC, HKIAC, SCCR, and DIAC.
Our arbitration expertise predominately covers commercial and corporate disputes, across multiple sectors including energy and natural resources, oil & gas, construction & infrastructure, financial, technology, private equity, real estate, sports, and telecommunications.
Where there are issues of fraud, dishonesty, bribery and corruption, money laundering, proceeds of crime and sanctions that arise, we have specialist members who can advise on these issues. In addition, we are often instructed to enforce arbitral awards in relation to asset recovery proceedings, as well as in situations where a party is seeking an annulment or to challenge an award where there are allegations of fraud or corruption.
