Arbitration

We provide specialist and strategic advice across a broad range of arbitration matters make us ideally placed to support you.

Arbitration is a confidential, flexible, and enforceable way to resolve complex disputes – particularly for businesses operating across borders. Our team acts in both international and domestic arbitrations, delivering strategic, commercially focused outcomes for clients in a variety of sectors.

We act across the full lifecycle of arbitrations, including drafting and advising on arbitration clauses, advising on arbitrator selection, drafting arbitral pleadings and supporting documents, conducting advocacy when appropriate, making emergency relief applications and post-award enforcement across multiple jurisdictions. We frequently coordinate cross-border enforcement strategies, leveraging local procedures and interim relief to freeze and seize assets and maximise recoveries, assessing options throughout the lifecycle of the arbitration.

Our experience includes the intersection between arbitration and the court, with examples of our work including court applications under the Arbitration Act 1996 relating to alleged serious irregularity in the conduct of arbitral proceedings, applications for anti-suit injunctions and emergency measures across multiple jurisdictions including the Middle East and Asia.

We look to leverage AI where possible to maximise efficiency while ensuring that there are suitable checks and balances in place managed by qualified lawyers and in accordance with the relevant guidelines and best practice.
