As cross-border trade increases, more and more organisations come to recognise the benefits of international arbitration: the ease with which arbitration awards can be enforced abroad, along with the confidential nature of arbitration proceedings.


International commercial arbitration is often perceived as the preserve of the largest international firms. We are city trained lawyers with the experience and ability to successfully resolve arbitrations but at more proportionate cost. 

We have acted on arbitrations ranging in value from $1 million to over $1 billion and in a range of sectors, including oil & gas, energy, mining, engineering, commodities, telecommunications, shipping, real estate and life sciences. 

We advise clients throughout the arbitration lifecycle: from drafting dispute resolution clauses, through arbitration, to arbitration-related English High Court litigation, such as pre-arbitration injunction applications, discovery exercises and enforcement of arbitration awards.

We have significant experience of commercial arbitrations, subject to a variety of governing substantive and procedural laws, before the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC), the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre (HKIAC) and many other institutions, as well as ad hoc arbitrations under the UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.

We are experienced in enforcing arbitration awards internationally. 

We know that the arbitration process can be complex and we have produced the following guide to assist you in providing an overview of the relevant procedures.
