Cross-border investment disputes
Investment Arbitration

The firm acts for Irish clients in investment disputes arising from investments and projects abroad, as well as for international clients in disputes concerning investments in Ireland.

Experience
A focused international arbitration practice
The firm's scope is deliberately narrow. It focuses exclusively on international arbitration and alternative dispute resolution, with particular experience in complex commercial and investment disputes. This focused practice enables the firm to devote its experience and resources to disputes where specialist arbitration expertise is critical, rather than maintaining a broad general litigation caseload.
The practice has experience in international investment arbitration, including proceedings conducted under the ICSID Rules, as well as ad hoc investment arbitrations. This experience extends to disputes arising from investments and projects across jurisdictions.
The firm's boutique structure allows it to provide focused senior-level attention throughout the life of a dispute, with representation and advice tailored to the circumstances of each matter.
