We act as counsel on behalf of multinational companies, businesses of all sizes, entrepreneurs, and high-net worth individuals, in arbitrations administered by all the major institutions, including the ICC, LCIA, HKIAC, SIAC and DIAC, as well as ad hoc arbitrations. The hallmarks of our approach are close partner-level involvement and lean, focused teams to ensure high-quality work output, cost efficiency and flexibility. 

The vast majority of our arbitration work contains multiple cross-border elements, most particularly in relation to the CIS, US, BVI and Cyprus. For that reason the CANDEY team is adept at working seamlessly with overseas counsel at all stages of the arbitration process as required. A number of partners have also sat as appointed arbitrators, and bring this experience of the other side of the hearing room to bear on our clients’ matters.

Whatever the institution, industry focus or geographical nexus, our international arbitration group has the expertise and experience to ensure that our clients’ cases are always advanced in the most compelling and persuasive terms.
