Arbitration

The team of ZEILER is one of the region’s leading commercial arbitration practices. We advise and represent clients in international and domestic commercial disputes from the pre-arbitration stage until the issue of the award, combining the highest standards of international advocacy with a deep-rooted understanding of the arbitral process. Further, we regularly assist in setting-aside proceedings as well as in the recognition and enforcement of foreign arbitral awards.

We advise on disputes in all industry sectors, particularly in post-M&A disputes, corporate disputes (including disputes regarding private foundations), distributorship disputes and disputes in the construction, finance and energy sectors (in particular in the natural gas and renewables industry).

We regularly act as counsel in commercial arbitration proceedings under a variety of rules, including the ICC, VIAC, LCIA, DIS, GAFTA, AAA, SCC, UNCITRAL and ICSID Rules. We have been involved in arbitrations in all the major arbitration venues around the world, including London, Paris, New York, Singapore, Vienna, The Hague, Doha, Zurich, Munich, and Bucharest. Our partners also frequently sit as arbitrators, in particular under the ICC and VIAC Rules.

Our partners are highly skilled and experienced arbitration specialists who have successfully handled numerous complex and high-profile international commercial arbitrations. They will give your case their full attention.
