Our arbitration experience includes:
• Claim relating to a $100m loan agreement which involved a $50m arbitration in the LCIA, injunctive action in Cyprus and proceedings in Russia.
• Acting for a Cypriot holding company following the sale of a media group for $31m. The matter involved a dispute pursuant to an LCIA arbitration clause worth $5m and a counterclaim for breach of warranty worth $15m.
• Acting in complex and related arbitrations under various professional indemnity insurance policies. The first arbitration consisted of allegations of fraud and dishonesty, late notification, non-disclosure and misrepresentation. The second arbitration concerned the interpretation of aggregations clauses and issues of estoppel and abuse of process. The arbitrations (worth in excess of £5m), were conducted in conjunction with ten underlying claims in the English High Court.
