Arbitration
For over 30 years, Salans has been providing advice to clients in the developed markets of Western Europe and the US and the developing markets of Eastern Europe, the CIS, and Asia. We have one of the largest and most experienced groups of international arbitration specialists in Europe, Asia, and North America.
Our lawyers assist clients in disputes arising under, or involving, both common law and civil law systems. With an average annual case load of over 60 active arbitration cases as counsel, and numerous additional cases as arbitrator, members of our International Arbitration Practice Group have acted in hundreds of international arbitrations before all of the principal international arbitration institutions of the world as well as before domestic and regional institutions in a number of jurisdictions and before ad-hoc tribunals.
Our Approach
In many instances, the client’s interests are best served by resolving a dispute before it evolves into a litigation or arbitration. Salans attorneys are experienced in a wide range of alternative dispute resolution techniques, including third-party mediation, dispute resolution boards and other means.
We ensure that our clients receive quality service teams comprised of partners and associates at the right level of experience and expertise while maintaining a competitive pricing approach. We enhance our ability to advise and act for our clients with the multi-lingual capabilities of our lawyers and our truly global outlook.
Our Advice Covers Specialised Sectors
Our cases involve a broad spectrum of commercial, contractual, and bilateral investment treaty disputes. Within these areas, our experience spans a variety of business sectors and industry areas across a broad geographic range.
What Others Say
Amongst other recognitions, Chambers Global Legal praised Salans' arbitration group for the “proactive approach of their partners, their clear documents, and the highly responsive attitude of the entire team.” Chambers also reported "clients say the lawyers here 'exceed expectations in all categories'."
In 2009, the American Lawyer Magazine (Focus Europe 2009) singled out a EUR 1.83 billion (USD 2.29 billion) award obtained by Salans for one of its clients as the highest award obtained by a law firm in recent years. That award is one of the highest arbitral awards ever.
