International arbitration (The Hague)

Most international commercial disputes are decided in private, and the enforceable prize is the award itself. We work on the award and on the part that follows it: recognition and enforcement in the jurisdiction where the assets actually sit.

We also act in negotiations and mediation, which are frequently the better commercial answer and always cheaper than a contested proceeding.

Because the firm is built on a corridor, we are as comfortable in the Ukrainian procedural reality as in the Dutch one, and we do not treat the two systems as an obstacle to be worked around.
