International Arbitration
Disputes can be a highly sensitive matter for businesses. Parties choose arbitration because the process is private, ensuring confidentiality and minimising the risk of reputational damage. Arbitration can be swifter, cost-effective and a more flexible process than court proceedings, allowing for a more tailored approach and a range of solutions. Arbitration also provides finality, with limited grounds to challenge an arbitral award. It is increasingly the preferred choice for cross-border and multi-jurisdictional disputes.

We have conducted arbitrations in Spanish across multiple jurisdictions in Central and South America; we have similarly acted for Israeli clients in Hebrew; Chinese clients in a number of significant arbitrations; and have leading experience in Latin American arbitrations which is unrivalled by our competitors.

We fully understand the intricacies and tactics of the arbitral process, and we are experts at using it effectively to maximise the benefits and minimise any disruption for you. We also advise on any post-arbitration issues and ensure you are fully supported until an effective final conclusion.
