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”.
Our lawyers have experience acting for claimants and respondents in claims under the following rules: London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Swiss Chamber of Commerce Rules of International Arbitration (SCIA), Arbitral Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) and the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC).

The LCIA Rules were recently revised and the updated rules became effective on 1 October 2020. In this guide we provide an overview of the basic procedural stages in an LCIA arbitration.
