Our extensive experience in international arbitration processes enables us to successfully address the most complex dispute resolutions, before any arbitration institution or fora, regardless of the applicable law.

We have developed expertise in international arbitration and litigation in cases of corporate disputes, trade, public procurement, maritime transportation, and fishing worldwide, representing both public and private clients.

In this context, we have acted in several cases before various arbitration tribunals, including proceedings in different jurisdictions, such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) or the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS).
