Clifford Chance

Our global arbitration practice provides organisations with arbitration experts wherever in the world they operate. We draw upon the resources of our global arbitration practice to deploy teams that are adapted to the specific requirements of the dispute, in terms both of geographic and industry-specific expertise. Our worldwide arbitration experts sit in offices across all of the major arbitration centres and throughout our global network – including the UK, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and the Americas – and work together as one cross-border team.

Partners in our arbitration practice are members of leading arbitral institutions and regularly sit as arbitrators. The Group's partners have relationships with ICC Court and Commission, LCIA, HKIAC and SIAC. The Group's partners are also active in the International Council for Commercial Arbitration (ICCA), the International Bar Association (IBA) and the International Law Association (ILA).
