Arbitration
Our arbitration practice deals exclusively with major corporate or commercial cases.
While our lawyers act both as advocates and as arbitrators in international arbitration cases, we have chosen to act mainly as counsel to our clients in large and complex arbitration proceedings.
We have developed the necessary skills to conduct hearings under the continental as well as Anglo-American rules (particularly discovery, rules of evidence and witness examination), as most of the cases we handle require both kinds of skills.
Because our firm operates as one team in a fully integrated manner, our arbitration lawyers enjoy the full support of the entire firm to develop theories and research, and to deal with large submissions and witness hearings as needed.
Over the last twenty years, we have handled more than one hundred cases, most of the time involving multinational corporations, complex international disputes and substantial stakes, under the rules of the ICC, the AAA, the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration, the Vienna Arbitration Centre, ICSID, as well as ad hoc cases, including cases under the UNCITRAL Rules. Recent cases have had their seat in Switzerland, France, England, Austria, the United States, Australia and Italy.
Our lawyers have published widely on arbitration topics.
