International Arbitration and Litigation

International arbitration has become the most accepted method for resolving international disputes. Our extensive experience in the field enables us to successfully handle the most complex disputes, before any seat or arbitral institution and no matter the law governing the dispute.

Our team of specialist lawyers from nine different jurisdictions is able to work in seven languages and apply all the main international rules. We represent companies and high-net-worth individuals before the world’s main arbitral tribunals (the ICC, LCIA, Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution, ICSID, CAM, CIMA and Spanish Court of Arbitration) and in ad hoc arbitrations.

We participate in:

• Commercial and investment arbitrations, representing both states and investors
• Judicial proceedings related to arbitration, including requests for interim measures, appointment of arbitrators, actions for annulment, and recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards
• Alternative dispute resolution (ADR) processes before and during the arbitral proceeding
• Cross-border disputes linked with international arbitrations

Thanks to our strong presence in Latin America through Philippi Prietocarrizosa Ferrero DU & Uría, the first major Latin American firm with offices in Chile, Colombia and Peru, we have achieved widespread recognition in the market. This privileged position, together with our close relationship with leading firms in Europe through the Best Friends, places us at the forefront of international advice on disputes relating to investments, construction, oil & gas, energy, commercial law, M&A, finance, sport, transport, technology and defence.
