Arbitration

Within the scope of our specialization, we represent clients at all stages of arbitration proceedings, from the initial analysis of the state of the case, through proceedings aimed at securing claims, to the stage of recognition or declaration of enforceability of an arbitration award, or possibly an action for setting the award aside. We represent Polish and foreign clients in proceedings under the rules of, among others, SAKIG, ICC, SCC, VIAC, UNICTRAL, as well as in ad hoc proceedings. Our experience also includes enforcement proceedings - in this respect we cooperate with foreign law firms, which allows our clients to efficiently enforce judgments in the absence of debtor's assets in Poland. We also have experience in conducting proceedings under bilateral investment treaties (investment arbitration), based on, among others, UNICTRAL, ICSID and ICC rules.

Our services include:
  • Preparation and analysis of contractual arbitration clauses, including assistance in selecting the arbitration institution best suited to the client's needs, the contract and the potential dispute
  • Support in the process of obtaining third-party funding of disputes, regardless of whether a party is a plaintiff or a defendant in a given proceeding;
  • Representing clients before common courts in the pre-arbitration phase (e.g. proceedings to secure a claim or evidence);
  • Representing clients before domestic and international arbitration tribunals at all stages of the proceedings 
  • Representing clients in proceedings to set aside an arbitral award;
  • Representing clients in proceedings regarding recognition or declaration of enforceability of an arbitral award;
