Commercial Litigation & Arbitration

What we do

• Representation before the High Court, Court of Appeal and specialised tribunals
• Arbitration under the Arbitration Act and NCIA rules, including jurisdictional and appointing-authority challenges
• Enforcement and recognition of arbitral awards, including under the New York Convention
• Judicial review applications challenging administrative and regulatory decisions
• Pre-dispute risk assessment and dispute avoidance strategy
• Drafting of dispute resolution clauses to reduce procedural challenges at the enforcement stage

Our approach

The firm treats dispute resolution as a matter of strategy as much as advocacy. Before litigation or arbitration is commenced, the team assesses the likely cost, timeline and enforcement path of each available forum, so that clients pursue the route best suited to recovering value — not simply the most familiar one. Particular attention is paid to dispute resolution clauses at the contract stage, since a poorly drafted arbitration clause can undermine enforcement long before a dispute ever arises.
