Arbitration & Alternative Dispute Resolution
We have a well-deserved reputation for handling large, complex, high value litigation disputes and international arbitrations and we are known in litigation and arbitration circles as a true specialist and a formidable opponent. Our dispute resolution practice is truly global. Over the past few years, we have advised on major disputes located in the State of Qatar, UK, Europe, the Middle East and Turkey. Our client base spans many geographical regions worldwide including the USA. We regularly advise on and represent clients in arbitrations conducted under the major institutional rules including QICCA, ICC, LCIA DIAC, and UNCITRAL.
We are acknowledged leaders in the use of alternative dispute resolution. In the past decade, we have been involved in hundreds of commercial mediations including multiparty, multimillion and multiday negotiations. We have used expert determination, early neutral evaluation and project mediation to avoid and resolve disputes. We have a reputation for innovation, and we always explore options for settlement. In the majority of cases, we manage to resolve disputes satisfactorily, without formal proceedings. We have substantial experience with mediation not just when acting for parties but also acting as mediators.
