Increasingly, our clients are resolving their disputes through international arbitration in order to maximize the enforceability of the decision, expedite the resolution of the dispute and control costs. The privacy of the proceedings, neutrality of the forum and ability to select the decision-maker are additional features of international arbitration that our clients particularly value.

To achieve practical results that are tailored to our clients’ specific situations and goals, we work closely with them while they are negotiating an agreement so that the dispute resolution mechanism protects their interests. Companies from many different industries regularly turn to us for assistance, but our deepest experience is with the telecommunications, finance, hospitality, pharmaceutical, sports, energy, insurance and reinsurance and real estate sectors. Many of the arbitrations we handle concern joint ventures, acquisitions or licensing and distribution relationships.

Clients turn to Proskauer when a matter demands excellence and innovation. With 800+ lawyers in key financial centers around the world, we are known for the pragmatic and commercial approach we bring to a full spectrum of transactional and contentious practices.

Since 1875, Proskauer has helped define — and helped clients navigate — nearly every emergent field of law. We are committed to excellence as a best-in-class, trusted advisor to prestigious clients as they navigate complex challenges and seek to capitalize on market opportunities. Today, much of that work happens at the intersection of private capital and global finance.

We work seamlessly across practices, industries and jurisdictions with asset managers, private equity and venture capital firms, Fortune 500 and FTSE companies, major sports leagues, entertainment industry legends and other industry-redefining companies.

Over our 150-year history, the issues may have changed, but one constant is that our work continues to shape the future.
