What we do
We act for clients involved in international disputes. The majority of such disputes are resolved through arbitration under the auspices of one or more of the major institutions such as the ICC but if there is no arbitration provision we can assist with finding a trusted professional in a foreign jurisdiction.
Why Cripps Harries Hall?
The team is led by Peter Ashford who is an international litigator of many years experience and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators. Peter also runs a specialized blog www.commercial-arbitration.com
