INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

Our international arbitration practice group has decades of experience behind it. We act in arbitration proceedings conducted under the rules of procedure of various international arbitration institutions as well as in ad hoc arbitrations. We represent clients across many different sectors including those involving power and energy, telecommunications, technology, construction and commodities. 

We pride ourselves on keeping abreast of developments in international arbitration within the region and further afield, and in forging strong ties with arbitration practitioners in other jurisdictions. This enables us to better serve our clients’ interest in dealing with cross-border issues that come into play. 

In addition to acting as counsel in arbitration proceedings, we act and advise on arbitration related matters before the Malaysian courts, including in respect of applications to stay proceedings in favour of arbitration, for interim relief in aid of arbitration, to set aside awards, and for registration and enforcement of arbitral awards. We also advise on and draft arbitration clauses to best serve the requirements of particular transactions with a view to having any eventual disputes arising under contracts resolved efficiently on the merits. 

Our partners are empanelled as arbitrators with the Asian International Arbitration Centre, Borneo International Centre for Arbitration and Mediation, Singapore International Arbitration Centre and Thailand Arbitration Centre, and accept appointments to sit as arbitrators. They are active members of the arbitration community, serving on committees of arbitration related bodies, and speaking on arbitration related matters at conferences and public forums.

Our approach to cases is pragmatic, and our focus is on delivering meaningful outcomes to our clients.
