Cross-border transactions are common and when disputes arise out of those transactions, we can help you manage and resolve your disputes successfully.
International arbitration is the dispute resolution of choice for big business, insurers and organs of sovereign states. Unlike court-based litigation, it is a consensual and private process allowing the parties to select a neutral venue for the final resolution of their grievances, with the ability to enforce awards in over 170 states under the New York Convention. Many commercial contracts across a variety of differing industries and sectors contain arbitration clauses. When a dispute arises, you need lawyers experienced in international arbitrations on your side.
Whatever the jurisdiction
