What We Can Do For You
Strategic Advocacy and Informal Resolution
Not every dispute is best resolved through litigation or arbitration. In the context of international organisations, early and carefully managed engagement can be particularly important, both because of the specialised nature of the applicable legal framework and because professional relationships frequently continue while a dispute is being addressed.
We therefore assist with informal dispute resolution, navigating internal review, management evaluation and other administrative processes, and striving toward negotiated solutions. Where appropriate, we help clients identify practical avenues for resolution while preserving their legal position and protecting applicable procedural rights and deadlines.
Representation in Litigation and Formal Proceedings
Where a dispute has arisen, we assist clients in assessing the legal and procedural options available to them. When formal proceedings become necessary, we provide representation in arbitration and other adjudicative proceedings involving international organisations, as well as before the relevant internal justice bodies and international administrative tribunals.
Our approach is rooted in a commitment to fairness and transparency and is characterized by meticulous legal analysis, persuasive argumentation and thoughtful litigation management to protect your professional interests.
Education and Training
We provide education and training for legal practitioners, institutions and organisations on developments across our practice areas. Our programmes include seminars, workshops and tailored training designed to engage with emerging legal issues, evolving jurisprudence and developments in international dispute resolution.
Particular areas of focus include international arbitration, public international law and international administrative law, as well as the intersection between international arbitration and matters of public interest, including human rights, access to justice and broader questions of public policy.
Training may be designed as continuing legal education for practitioners or developed in response to the particular needs of an organisation or professional audience. Our aim is to combine rigorous analysis of current legal developments with practical discussion of their implications for legal practice and dispute resolution.
