Dispute resolution

When disputes cannot be avoided, we act decisively to achieve the most commercially advantageous results for our clients on everything from routine loss and expense claims to complex technical issues.

Alternative dispute resolution: We are acknowledged leaders in the use of alternative dispute resolution. In the past decade, we have been involved in more than 400 commercial mediations including multi-party, multi-million and multi-day negotiations.

Adjudication: Fenwick Elliott has helped shape UK adjudication policy – a particularly fast-changing area of law. Many of our partners are accredited adjudicators and serve on key industry panels.

Arbitration and litigation: When formal action cannot be avoided, our partner-led law teams are formidable litigators in the UK and internationally. We have run some of the largest, most complex and high profile cases heard in the Technology and Construction Court. We are also highly experienced in conducting arbitrations under all the leading institutional rules including those of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, the investment arbitration proceedings of the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes and those of the London Court of International Arbitration.

Other international procedures: We are well-versed in bilateral and multi-lateral investment treaties and Dispute Board procedures to resolve contractual differences.
