What types of disputes does Averites' International Dispute Resolution practice handle?

Our lawyers act in high-stakes disputes arising from mergers and acquisitions, shareholder and joint-venture relationships, investments and financings, construction and infrastructure projects, energy and natural resources, technology, international trade, and other cross-border commercial relationships.

Which arbitration rules does Averites have experience with?

Our arbitration experience includes proceedings under the ICC, LCIA, SCC, VIAC, and UNCITRAL Rules, as well as industry-specific regimes such as GAFTA and FOSFA. We also advise on investment treaty disputes involving states, public authorities and state-owned entities.

Is an international dispute usually just one arbitration or court case?

Rarely. A commercial conflict may simultaneously involve arbitration, court proceedings, emergency applications, regulatory issues, shareholder rights, asset preservation and enforcement in several jurisdictions — we approach disputes as an integrated strategy rather than a sequence of isolated procedural steps.

What does Averites assess at the start of a dispute?

We assess the merits, jurisdiction, governing law, limitation periods, contractual notice requirements, available evidence, damages, counterparty solvency, asset location, enforcement prospects and settlement leverage — identifying not just whether a claim exists, but where it should be fought and what result is realistically recoverable.

Does the Dispute Resolution team work with Averites' transactional practices?

Yes. Our Dispute Resolution practice works closely with Averites’ Corporate & M&A, Investments & Capital Markets, Banking & Finance, Regulatory, Competition, Tax and White Collar practices, which matters especially where understanding the negotiated commercial structure is as important as the procedural law.

How long does Averites stay involved in a cross-border dispute?

Our involvement can extend from the first signs of a dispute through emergency relief, merits proceedings, settlement, judgment or award, recognition, enforcement and recovery, coordinating local counsel, experts and forensic professionals through a single strategy.

OUR APPROACH

How We Advise on International Disputes

The Range of Disputes We Handle

Our lawyers act in high-stakes disputes arising from mergers and acquisitions, shareholder and joint-venture relationships, investments and financings, construction and infrastructure projects, energy and natural resources, technology, international trade, and other cross-border commercial relationships. We represent claimants and respondents under major institutional and ad hoc arbitration rules and coordinate litigation involving courts, assets and proceedings across multiple jurisdictions.
Arbitration Rules and Investment Treaty Experience

Our arbitration experience includes proceedings under the ICC, LCIA, SCC, VIAC, and UNCITRAL Rules, as well as industry-specific regimes such as GAFTA and FOSFA. We also advise on investment treaty disputes involving states, public authorities and state-owned entities.
Why Disputes Rarely Fit One Proceeding

International disputes rarely fit neatly within a single proceeding. A commercial conflict may simultaneously involve arbitration, court proceedings, emergency applications, regulatory issues, shareholder rights, asset preservation and enforcement in several jurisdictions. We therefore approach disputes as an integrated strategy rather than a sequence of isolated procedural steps.
What We Assess From the Outset

From the outset, we assess the merits, jurisdiction, governing law, limitation periods, contractual notice requirements, available evidence, damages, counterparty solvency, asset location, enforcement prospects and settlement leverage. Our objective is not simply to determine whether a viable claim or defense exists, but to identify where the dispute should be fought, how it should be positioned and what result is realistically recoverable.
A Coordinated Practice Across the Firm

Our Dispute Resolution practice works closely with Averites’ Corporate & M&A, Investments & Capital Markets, Banking & Finance, Regulatory, Competition, Tax and White Collar practices. This is particularly important in disputes arising from sophisticated transactions, where understanding the commercial structure and negotiated allocation of risk can be as important as the procedural law governing the proceedings.
Coordinating Strategy Across Jurisdictions

Where disputes extend across jurisdictions, we coordinate local counsel, experts, forensic professionals and other advisers through a single strategy. Our involvement can extend from the first signs of a dispute through emergency relief, merits proceedings, settlement, judgment or award, recognition, enforcement and recovery.
