Arbitration & Mediation
Overview
A dispute does not always need the same route. We examine the agreement, the points of disagreement and the relationship between the parties before advising on arbitration, mediation or court proceedings.
The partners’ experience spans institutional and ad hoc arbitration, commercial and EPC agreements, and mediation across civil, property, family and intellectual property matters. We assist with preparation, representation and settlement documentation, keeping the practical terms of a resolution in view.
