International Arbitration & Dispute Resolution
From dispute prevention and strategic clause drafting to resolution and enforcement.
A few examples of what we can handle
- International commercial arbitration and cross-border dispute strategy
- Dispute prevention, early case assessment, and pre-arbitration strategy
- Arbitration clauses, including drafting, review, amendment, and analysis of defective or pathological clauses
- Negotiation, mediation, conciliation, and other forms of international dispute resolution
- Arbitrability, validity, scope, and effectiveness of arbitration agreements
- Jurisdiction, governing law, seat of arbitration, forum, and cross-border procedural strategy
- Evidence, witnesses, experts, document production, and coordination of cross-border factual records
- Interim, conservatory, and emergency measures to preserve assets, evidence, rights, and the effectiveness of proceedings
- Recognition and enforcement of foreign and international arbitral awards
- Challenges to, annulment of, and resistance to recognition or enforcement of arbitral awards
- Settlement strategy and negotiated resolution during arbitration or other international proceedings
Strategy before procedure. Outcome before form.
We begin by identifying what the client needs to protect or achieve, then assess the contract, governing law, forum, evidence, assets, commercial relationships, and realistic paths to resolution. Strategy is developed with the enforceability and practical effect of the eventual outcome in mind from the outset.
Where circumstances permit, a win-win outcome is encouraged through negotiation, mediation, or another negotiated route, without weakening the client’s position. Nonetheless, where proceeding becomes necessary, we approach the dispute as one coherent case, coordinating the legal systems, languages, evidence, experts, procedural choices, and enforcement considerations involved.
The objective is not simply to prevail at one procedural stage, but to pursue an outcome that can be implemented, recognized, or enforced where it ultimately matters.
Strategize early and position toward the strongest outcome.
Aligning the resolution method, evidence, procedural choices, assets, and enforcement path around the result the client is seeking.
