Drawing on the extensive experience of our lawyers who have worked on international arbitrations around the world, Allens Arthur Robinson's international commercial arbitration sub group has proven expertise to act on behalf of clients in institutional or ad hoc arbitrations across the South East Asian region.
Our experience includes international commercial arbitrations that raise complex technical and jurisdictional issues in a variety of industry areas (including construction and insurance in particular). We know how to conduct international arbitrations, including how to coordinate lawyers in other jurisdictions, and how and when to seek the assistance of local courts in the arbitration process.
We aim to tailor arbitration procedures to meet the needs of our clients and the demands of the case, and to ensure a cost-efficient process. At the same time, we are experienced players in hard-fought litigation and arbitration. We also provide advice to our clients on the arbitration process (including choice of institutions) and how to draft an effective and binding arbitration clause.
Handling matters in the region
We have a genuine pan-Asia Pacific presence. Our dispute resolution team has more than 270 lawyers across Australia and the Asia Pacific region (including Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Bangkok).
We are experienced in coordinating matters out of any of our offices and utilising our network of offices across the Asia Pacific region and cutting edge document management technology to ensure that international commercial arbitrations are handled in the most time and cost effective manner possible.
The fact that many Australian cities are in similar time zones as Asian cities makes communicating and dealing with our Asian offices very easy. Australian-based lawyers are available to meet our clients in Asia at short notice as it takes us very little time to get there..
