In recent years, our members have appeared in high profile arbitration related court proceedings, such as in the contested enforcement of an ICSID award in Micula v Republic of Romania and in the much publicised challenge to an arbitral decision on grounds of serious irregularity in Secretary of State v Raytheon Systems.
Our members routinely represent and advise clients in arbitral disputes in the market sectors in which Henderson Chambers is traditionally regarded as pre-eminent, such as in product liability, insurance, international supply chains, and IT and telecommunications disputes.
Our work includes the full range of associated court proceedings including for relief in support of arbitral proceedings and anti-suit injunctions.
