Litigation & Dispute Resolution:  International Arbitration

Companies engaged in international commerce bear the risk that disputes with foreign parties will be decided in foreign lands. Foreign methods of dispute resolution can create uncertainty and discomfort, especially when a company’s fortunes are at stake, so it’s critical to have counsel from attorneys with the experience and confidence to operate successfully in foreign environments.

Nixon Peabody’s International Arbitration practice has represented clients in international litigation and arbitration throughout the world for many years. From energy projects in Africa, India, the Middle East, and South America to telecommunications and other ventures in Europe, we’ve been there.

Our lawyers represent companies in any country and on any type of case. We have successfully represented clients in proceedings administered by many of the world’s leading arbitration bodies, including:

  • The International Chamber of Commerce
  • The London Court of International Arbitration
  • The United Nations Commission on International Trade Law
  • The Netherlands Institute of Arbitration
  • The International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes

Our understanding of cultural differences and our multilingual staff enable us to work well with local counsel, who can play a key role in moving a case through the international arbitration and litigation process. Our staff members are fluent in Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, French, German, Afrikaans, and other languages.

We offer a complete range of services related to arbitration, including advice on the arbitration clauses that are critical to have in contracts. The selection of the venue for arbitration, the choice of law that will apply, and the method of selecting arbitrators are only a few of the issues addressed in an arbitration clause that can impact the outcome of an arbitration.
