International arbitration

International arbitration

In international construction projects, disputes are generally ultimately resolved through international arbitration. This is because in international arbitration, the dispute may be determined by a neutral tribunal, in a neutral place of arbitration. Also, the factual and legal matters can be dealt with exhaustively. Furthermore, the arbitral award is normally final and can be enforced internationally. As a result, international arbitration is generally the best option for the final resolution of international construction disputes.

We assist and represent parties in international construction arbitration proceedings, both ad hoc and under the rules of major arbitration centres. We also act as co-counsel when other law firms temporarily wish to add our specialised skillsets to their team.
