Investment arbitration

Investment arbitration has been a key part of our practice since the firm’s creation.

We have acted as counsel in landmark investment arbitration cases involving the application of bilateral and multilateral investment treaties.

We represent both investors and sovereign States.

In addition to their role as counsel, our lawyers are regularly instructed to act as arbitrators in investment arbitration proceedings, which complements and enriches their role as counsel.
