Complex conflict resolution in a client orientated, cost-effective manner.
Arbitration can be an extremely valuable alternative option to litigation for resolving complex disputes, particularly when confidentiality is preferred or difficulties are anticipated in using local courts or in enforcing court judgements. If you are proceeding with an arbitration, whether international or domestic, you should work alongside expert advisers with extensive knowledge of the workings of the arbitral process who will apply their technical expertise and strategic insight to help achieve the best possible result.
We are a conflict-of-interest-free team of litigators, often acting against large businesses and financial institutions, and our arbitration team’s experience includes representing corporate clients in high-value international and domestic arbitration matters, including the enforcement or the setting aside of arbitral awards. It is is expected that parties to disputes will increasingly choose arbitration, partly because of the backlog that has occurred in the courts of many jurisdictions caused by the Covid- 19 pandemic.
We understand and have substantial experience of the key sectors in which our clients operate including energy, financial markets (including disputes arising from ISDA agreements), aviation, insurance, manufacturing, telecoms and technology.
Whether you are the claimant or the respondent, we will gain a thorough understanding of the intricacies of your situation and work with you to develop a tailored and innovative arbitration strategy which is cost-effective and aligns with the characteristics of you and your business.
We provide frequent estimates of costs and, in appropriate cases, we offer fixed and capped fees for stages of the dispute and a no-fee review for an initial assessment.
We have established strong connections with leading arbitration funders, a key aspect of the arbitration landscape. The aim is that we work together seamlessly with the funders to deliver your objectives. Click here to download our “guide to litigation funding for commercial litigation and arbitration”.
