Specialist tribunals are a genuine alternative to litigation. We have a market-leading adjudication and arbitration practice, with significant experience of the full range of specialist tribunals available to resolve disputes. Our adjudication and arbitration lawyers adopt a client first, innovative approach to dispute avoidance, troubleshooting and resolution.
The key contact, William Gard, is a practising adjudicator and arbitrator, as well as a chartered engineer.
We have led arbitrations across various key sectors, involving significant and complex projects. As well as ad hoc arbitrations, we conduct domestic and international arbitrations according to commonly used rules, including ICC, LCIA and UNCITRAL.
Adjudication is also an increasingly popular dispute resolution procedure. Having developed a leading UK construction and engineering adjudication team, we draw upon years of experience to deliver sector specific adjudication advice.
Our adjudication and arbitration experience spans key sectors and disciplines; from construction and engineering, infrastructure, and energy, to transport, defence, joint ventures, commercial contract and insurance disputes. All of our specialist tribunal lawyers are also litigators, experienced in other methods of dispute resolution.
