International Arbitration

Consistently recognised among the top international arbitration practices in Vietnam, our award winning team has built its reputation on consistently providing clients with top-quality service and practical commercial solutions.

Depth and Breadth of Experience 

Where the subject matter of the dispute is situated in foreign jurisdictions with substantial foreign law elements, we also draw on our excellent worldwide contacts and our network of foreign lawyers in the firm’s regional offices to put together the strongest possible legal team to deal with the relevant issues, the best strategies for the case and the most compelling reliefs which may be sought under the relevant laws whilst minimising any real risk of challenges to any successful arbitral awards which we may obtain.

Members of the team have been retained as arbitrators, advisors and/or counsel on arbitrations conducted under the auspices of the world’s leading arbitration institutions, including:

• The International Court of Arbitration of the ICC
• The Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre
• The Singapore International Arbitration Centre
• The Vietnam International Arbitration Centre
• The Swiss Chambers’ Arbitration Institution
