Arbitral Proceedings

Arbitral Proceedings on investment arbitration require specific expertise. From our base in the Netherrlands, we provide a strong offering on both the side of states and investors. Our experience is particularly solid in arbitration under the UNCITRAL and ICC Rules. We also have experience under the ICSID Rules. We act both as counsel and as co-counsel, the latter in support of international teams. This expertise is noted in our rankings by Legal500, Chambers and GAR 100.

Set-Aside & Enforcement

Set-Aside proceedings, also known as annulment proceedings, are often part of scenario planning during arbitral proceedings. If the matter is governed by the Dutch Arbitration Act, we do so during arbitral proceedings and subsequent thereto. We have thus acted to set aside and defend against setting aside of many awards, also in published cases. Of course, enforcement is also pertinent and often turns on issues of state immunity and due process.
