The White & Case International Arbitration Group is widely recognized as globally pre-eminent in the field of international arbitration. Founded over two decades ago, the Group is a pioneer in international arbitration and now has over 160 practitioners in offices around the world.

We were the first firm to have depth in the traditional arbitration hubs of London, New York, Paris and Washington, D.C., as well as practices in Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Mexico City, Miami, Moscow, Prague, Stockholm, Tokyo and elsewhere.

We are experienced dispute resolution specialists in a wide range of industry sectors, including aerospace, chemicals, construction, communications, electricity, financial services, hospitality, manufacturing, media, mining, oil & gas, real estate development and telecommunications.

We have extensive experience before all major arbitral institutions and arbitration rules. Our experience includes:

Our experience in arbitrations before the International Court of Arbitration of the ICC, the arbitral institution most frequently used for the resolution of significant international commercial disputes, is unsurpassed. Our Group includes two Alternate Members of the Court. At the AAA, two members of our Group are on the Board of Directors; one is Chair of the Law Committee and the other is a member of the Executive Committee. One of our Group is also a member of the LCIA Court.

We also appear regularly before regional and national arbitral institutions such as the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, Zurich Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Singapore International Arbitration Centre and Mexican Center for Mediation.

White & Case is one of the few firms with vast experience representing both investors and State parties in disputes arising under international law and investment treaties. White & Case lawyers have been involved in over 55 ICSID arbitrations, as well as in dozens of investor-State arbitrations in other fora.

We provide counsel on the complete dispute resolution process, from the drafting of dispute resolution clauses, to pre-proceeding issues, over the conduct of the arbitral proceedings, to enforcement issues. We advocate the use of alternative dispute resolution methods such as mediation, and have successfully advised and represented clients in CEDR, CPR, JAMS and ad hoc mediations. Several of our partners are registered and accredited mediators, arbitrators and dispute review board chairmen.
