International Arbitration

Our expertise encompasses advising on arbitration agreements, representing clients in arbitration proceedings, and enforcing arbitral awards. Our practice focuses on the following key areas of international arbitration:

Arbitration Agreements

We assist clients in drafting and negotiating arbitration agreements that specify arbitration as the preferred method of dispute resolution. We ensure these agreements are clear, enforceable, and tailored to the specific needs of the parties involved, covering aspects such as the choice of arbitration institution, rules, seat of arbitration, and governing law.

Representation in Arbitration Proceedings

Our team provides comprehensive representation to clients during arbitration proceedings, whether they are conducted under the rules of major arbitration institutions like the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Singapore International Arbitration Centre (SIAC), or the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), or through ad hoc arbitration. We handle all aspects of the process, including preparing submissions, presenting evidence, and advocating on behalf of our clients.

Enforcement of Arbitral Awards

We assist clients in enforcing arbitral awards in Bangladesh, ensuring compliance with the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards, to which Bangladesh is a signatory. We handle the legal processes required to obtain recognition and enforcement of awards through the Bangladeshi courts.

Arbitration-Related Litigation

We represent clients in litigation related to arbitration, including challenges to the validity of arbitration agreements, setting aside arbitral awards, and obtaining interim measures of protection from the courts. Our goal is to safeguard our clients' interests and ensure that arbitration proceedings are conducted fairly and effectively.
