National and International Arbitration

We act as counsel in all types of national and international arbitration procedures relating to companies and corporate and commercial contracting, both “ad hoc” proceedings as well as those administered by arbitral institutions. 

We have broad experience in the processing of arbitral proceedings administered both by the main Spanish arbitral institutions (Corte Civil y Mercantil de Arbitraje - C.I.M.A. - , Tribunal Arbitral de Barcelona - T.A.B. - , Corte de Arbitraje de Madrid) and international institutions (International Chamber of Commerce - I.C.C. - , London Court of International Arbitration - L.C.I.A. -, American Arbitration Association - A.A.A. -), offering our clients extensive experience in complex arbitrations in a wide variety of sectors. 

Partners of our firm are frequently designated as arbitrators in international arbitrations administered by the aforementioned arbitral institutions.
