We assemble teams of bright thinkers to match our clients' needs and give the right advice from the right person at the right time. Dedicating the highest calibre of legal talent to overcome the most complex issues, we deliver pragmatic, expert advice that is set squarely in the real world.
Our headquarters are in London, with eight offices across Asia, Europe and the Middle East. In addition we have forged close ties with other high quality law firms and an integrated local law capability in Singapore and the PRC. This diverse mix of expertise and culture results in a combination of deep local insight and the capability to provide a seamless international service.
Our market-leading international arbitration team is known for its expertise in managing complex and substantial arbitrations worldwide. We are well versed in related court proceedings, such as jurisdiction challenges, freezing orders and the enforcement of arbitral awards.
We have represented clients in arbitration proceedings under the rules of all the major institutions and trade associations, such as LCIA, ICC, CIETAC, SCIA, SIAC, HKIAC, DIFC-LCIA, LMAA, SCMA, FOFSA, GAFTA, UNCITRAL and ICSID.
Our expertise is global, led from our offices in London, Paris, Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore, with support from our other offices.
We have particular experience of international arbitrations relating to emerging markets, especially Africa, India and the CIS. We are frequently instructed in arbitration matters by clients and law firms in those regions and in other jurisdictions.
We can help you with disputes across a wide range of sectors, including aviation, energy, international trade, commodities, shipping, and financial services.
Our expertise is reflected in the wide variety of clients for whom we act including global airlines, ship owners, energy companies, insurers, traders and entrepreneurs and sovereign governments.
We have in-depth knowledge of arbitral law and procedure – but more importantly we never lose sight of the commercial realities, pressures and priorities that our clients have to face every day.
Our expertise is reflected in the regular arbitral appointments received by our dedicated international arbitration partners. Three partners have authored books on arbitration topics and our team members regularly speak at international conferences.
In the past decade, we have handled some of the most high-profile proceedings to enforce, or resist the enforcement of, arbitral awards before the English, Hong Kong and Singapore courts.
