Arbitration

Holmes has experience of arbitrations conducted under all major institutional rules. We advise a diverse range of corporates, insurance companies, financial institutions and governments on complex cross-border commercial arbitrations and investment treaty arbitrations. We advise on the most pressing and complex disputes wherever they arise.

The right advice on incorporating optimum international arbitration agreements in commercial deals can pay dividends, not only in terms of ultimate success if a full-blown dispute arises, but also in allowing for the negotiation and settlement of disputes from the strongest possible position. Obtaining tailored advice from experienced arbitration lawyers, all the way from the contract drafting stage to the resolution of any disputes, can be critical.

Our comprehensive services include drafting arbitration clauses, enforcement of arbitral awards and advocacy before tribunals and courts. We are known for our forensic preparation, pragmatic strategic advice, innovative working practices and winning advocacy. While we are experienced in managing complex adversarial proceedings, we apply the same rigor and judgment when advising on commercial solutions to contain risk and explore the potential for resolving a dispute at an early stage.
