Our lawyers have appeared before all major arbitration forums, including the ICC, LCIA, Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, HKIAC, DIAC, DIFC, Swiss Chamber of Commerce, ICDR, ICSID, SIAC, JCAA and AAA, in all major arbitration centers, and we have conducted arbitrations under UNCITRAL Rules and on an ad hoc basis. Our lawyers have significant experience in resolving investor-state disputes and a wide variety of claims both internationally and in the United States through arbitration and other forms of ADR. Our lawyers are frequently asked to serve as party-appointed arbitrators, as chairs of tribunals and as mediators.
