Arbitration is an alternative method of resolving disputes, where one, or more, arbitrators are appointed by the parties to make a binding decision.

Whether ad hoc arbitration, or administered arbitration, in commercial and business matters, arbitration has long since been recognised as an efficient and cost-effective process, resolved without the increased expense and anxieties of litigation. Multinational companies trading in different jurisdictions value these benefits of resolving their commercial disputes in arbitration.

Our arbitration barristers have experience in resolving complex disputes conducted by organisations including the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), International Centre for Dispute Resolution (ICDR) and the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA)).

Arbitration may be domestic, or international; conducted on a ‘document only’ basis, or involve a full hearing with witnesses; and concern matters in construction law , commercial transactions, and sports law . Regardless of the type of arbitration, our arbitration lawyers in London are skilled at putting the client’s case to maximum effect through skilled drafting of papers or representation through forceful advocacy.
