Practice area
International commercial arbitration
Legal support in cross-border commercial disputes and international arbitration proceedings, within the agreed scope of representation.
What changes when a dispute crosses a border
A cross-border transaction raises questions a domestic dispute does not: which law governs the contract, where the dispute will be heard, in what language, and what all of that means for the procedure and for what comes out of it.
We work through those questions with the client from the contract stage wherever that is possible, and on preparing and presenting the file within the agreed scope where it is not.

Frequently asked questions
Practical questions before we begin
What language does an international arbitration run in?
Usually the one named in the arbitration agreement or in the rules of the institution administering it. It is one of the questions best settled in the contract, before any dispute arises.
