International arbitration and mediation

Arbitration is increasingly being used as a cost-effective, confidential and efficient alternative to court litigation for solving commercial, construction and more frequently trust disputes. The global enforceability of arbitral awards and the successful adoption of virtual technology by most arbitration institutions makes it an attractive option for resolving disputes. 

Our dedicated arbitration lawyers bring deep, cross-border experience in both international arbitration and mediation, combining strategic judgment with practical commercial awareness to work alongside and quickly determine the best approach for a successful conclusion. They are skilled at:

  • Assessing forum suitability
  • Managing complex stakeholder relationships
  • Shaping dispute resolution strategies that reflect clients’ broader business objectives

With offices in the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Guernsey, Jersey and London as well as a strong track record across a wide range of sectors, our arbitration lawyers can advise you on every aspect of international arbitration, adapting their approach to each dispute while offering clear, commercially rooted guidance aimed at achieving durable, cost-effective outcomes.
