What Our Arbitrators Do

We have a significant number of highly regarded full-time international arbitrators, some of whom were previously senior judges in the UK, Australia, India and other overseas jurisdictions. Many of our barristers also act as arbitrators in addition to their counsel practice.

Our arbitrators have experience acting in arbitrations conducted under all major arbitration rules, including AAA, CAS, DIAC, HKIAC, ICC, ICSID, LCIA, LMAA, SIAC and UNCITRAL rules, as well as ad hoc arrangements.

Our arbitrators are appointed in arbitrations arising from a wide range of industry sectors, including commercial, commodities, company (shareholder and joint venture), construction and infrastructure, defence, energy, financial services, health, media and entertainment, mining and natural resources, sports, technology, transport and telecommunications.

Our arbitrators are also appointed in investor-state disputes.

Where Our Arbitrators Practice

Our arbitrators accept sole, party and chair appointments from parties and institutions across the world. They have experience in a variety of arbitrations seated in all prominent arbitral seats of the world.

We have a dedicated and separate team of arbitration clerks in London and Singapore to support our arbitrators. This also ensures confidentiality, separating the work of barristers acting as counsel in arbitrations and our arbitrators.
