International arbitration

Arbitration is our core practice: commercial and investment arbitration, as arbitrator or counsel, before the leading institutions (ICC, LCIA, ICSID, AAA) and ad hoc tribunals — from drafting the clause to enforcing the award.

Arbitrations under Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs)

With over thirty years experience in arbitration involving governments and foreign investors, we are experienced in this sector that is becoming ever more important on the international level and within the firm.

Commercial arbitrations involving a State

In addition to matters referred to in connection with "BITs", we have also dealt with arbitrations involving States where no BIT applied.
