We are a leader in the field of large scale arbitration. Our arbitration services are enhanced by the use, in appropriate cases, of the most advanced forms of computerised data management and document retrieval technology. The handling of vital case information is undertaken using database systems which provide great flexibility to lawyers and ease of external access and monitoring by clients.

Our lawyers have a wide range of arbitration experience and extensive knowledge of the relevant law and practice involved in the conduct of arbitrations under the leading systems of international arbitration rules, including:

• AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society (UK) (ARIAS)
• London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA)
• International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)
• International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID)
• Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS)
• City Disputes Panel (CDP)

Increasingly, the disputes we handle are in arbitration, primarily because of its confidentiality and international acceptance. Our arbitration experience covers all of the firm's contentious practice areas. The arbitrations in which we are involved often concern high value and complicated disputes, and frequently involve the application of foreign laws. Many of the cases with which we deal involve consideration of US legal issues (both State and Federal law) and we handle cases involving the laws of most major European jurisdictions.
