International Arbitration
Assisting clients resolve complex disputes around the globe
The Nelson Mullins international arbitration practice group represents private and public entities of all scales in both commercial and investment treaty disputes involving high-profile and complex cross-border disputes relating to major commercial and infrastructure disputes. Our team works toward resolutions in matters that stretch across various governing rules, foreign borders, cultures, and jurisdictions. The team has knowledge of all aspects of international arbitration disputes, from pre-arbitration settlement and litigation strategies to post-award enforcement proceedings.
Our multicultural and multilingual team of legal professionals use their experience to aid clients in their international arbitration needs. We serve on both sides of the arbitration process, acting as advocates and as arbitrators, as well as neutrals in other variants of alternative dispute resolution, such as dispute review board proceedings. Our team is deeply involved with the major arbitral institutions, the arbitrators who will be deciding the cases, teach at major universities, and are regularly sought out as speakers in international conferences. We have represented clients in Europe, Asia, North America, and Latin America in matters such as multi-million dollar infrastructure and commercial disputes, arbitration under rules such as ICSID, ICC, IACAC/CIAC, AAA/ICDR, and UNCITRAL, and enforcement proceedings in domestic courts.
Our team’s vast collective experience serves to further the interest of our clients effectively in domestic and international courts.
