Our arbitration practice combines international expertise with a thorough understanding of Pakistan's legal and business landscape. We represent both local and international clients in complex arbitration proceedings, including the enforcement of arbitral awards. Our experience encompasses international institutional arbitrations, such as those conducted by the International Chamber of Commerce ("ICC"), the London Court of International Arbitration ("LCIA"), the Dubai Arbitration Centre ("DIAC") and the Abu Dhabi Commercial Conciliation Arbitration Centre ("ADCCAC").
Our Attorneys are also regularly appointed as arbitrators in Pakistan and Oman, with one being a licensed arbitrator in Oman and registered with the GCC Commercial Arbitration Centre. We also collaborate with global investigators and asset recovery specialists to enforce international awards and judgments.
