ARBITRATION

ARBITRATION: RESOLVING DISPUTES WITH EFFICIENCY

Arbitration is often the preferred method of resolving disputes in complex and cross-border cases for a variety of reasons. These include the confidentiality of the process and a greater flexibility of the arbitral procedure giving greater power to the parties to decide how their case will progress.

Gherson’s arbitration team advises on commercial and investment treaty arbitrations with lawyers trained in both civil and common law jurisdictions. This gives us a global perspective and enables us to handle arbitrations seated in the UK, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa.

Our team has experience in conducting arbitration proceedings under the leading institutional rules, including LCIA, ICC, SCC, HKIAC, ICSID, the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation (ICAC), China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission (CIETAC) and the Arbitration Foundation of Southern Africa (AFSA). Additionally, we have experience in ad hoc arbitration proceedings, including under the UNCITRAL Rules.

We have acted for a range of international commercial clients across a wide range of jurisdictions, and have experience across sectors including banking and finance, transportation (including shipping), energy and infrastructure, construction and manufacturing and industrials. Notably, we have cutting-edge experience in sanctions-related disputes, involving complex regulatory and geopolitical issues. This further enhances our strength in both commercial and investment treaty arbitration.

We recognise that every dispute is different, which is why we do not take a ‘one size fits all’ approach. As an independent law firm, we regularly work with local teams from across the globe and have a trusted international network of legal experts ready assist when a multi-jurisdictional strategy is needed.

Our international arbitration practice regularly works together with our litigation team on matters relating to asset recovery, assisting with the enforcement of arbitral awards in the national courts as well as obtaining the courts’ assistance in support of arbitrations.
