International Arbitration
Morgan Lewis’s international arbitration team combines dispute resolution strategy and creative legal analysis with insight into intercultural and arbitration dynamics to represent clients in international disputes. Our highly regarded arbitration lawyers handle significant disputes in the Americas, Asia, Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States, Africa, and the Middle East. Our team has experience representing clients under all principal international arbitration rules and is well versed in both civil and common law.
Our lawyers have acted in some of the largest, most well-known investment arbitrations under the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) Convention and other fora.
With knowledge across many industries and experience in many venues, our lawyers propose creative, cost-effective solutions and strategies while exploring resolutions that make business sense for our clients. Our team is familiar with all aspects of international arbitration, and because the successful resolution of a dispute often goes beyond the arbitration process, we also advise clients in ancillary proceedings such as mediation, attachments, injunctions, appeals, and enforcement proceedings worldwide.
