Our prominence in the field of international arbitration is acknowledged worldwide. From a Spanish language arbitration under Chilean law in London to an investment arbitration against the Russian state in Washington, we are uniquely equipped to assist you in resolving your international disputes through arbitration.

Our international arbitration practice consists of over 80 practitioners worldwide with an unrivalled track record of conducting international arbitrations under all major institutional rules to the highest professional standards, no matter where or under what law or language - from French to Mandarin - they are conducted.

With 17 of our lawyers from eight offices, Freshfields was ranked top in the 2010 GAR Who's Who Commercial Arbitration. And four of our lawyers along with three 'runner's up' were listed in Global Arbitration Review's ’45 under 45’ feature on young arbitration specialists.

Through our international network we are increasingly active in representing investors and conducting arbitrations in the emerging markets of central and eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.

Our arbitration practice is also at the vanguard in representing private investors and governments in arbitrations under bilateral investment treaties.
