Cross-border disputes
International Arbitration
Farokhnia-Mimnagh Solicitors provides legal advice and representation in international commercial arbitrations for both ad hoc and institutional proceedings. Drawing on a decade of experience in high-stakes arbitration proceedings, we assist clients through the lifetime of their disputes.
Our advice covers the full life of an arbitration—from drafting and interpreting arbitration agreements and developing case strategy, through the conduct of proceedings and hearings, to the final award and its recognition and enforcement. We also advise on jurisdictional and procedural issues, and on enforcement under the New York Convention.
For arbitrations seated in Ireland, the Arbitration Act 2010 gives effect to the UNCITRAL Model Law, providing a modern and internationally recognised framework for the resolution of cross-border disputes.
We have a particular focus on disputes involving Irish parties, assets or contractual relationships with an international dimension. We also work closely with other law firms, providing specialist arbitration advice and support where a dispute practice would benefit from dedicated international arbitration expertise.
