We are an international law boutique. 

We represent and advise clients in cross-border disputes at all stages, from proactive dispute avoidance to vigorous advocacy before arbitral tribunals, national courts, and international administrative tribunals.

Our practice is focused on: 

• Investor-state arbitration under foreign investment protection treaties
• Advisory work to international organizations and NGOs
• Advisory work relating to foreign investment protection treaties, including corporate structuring, negotiations with governments and stakeholders, and proactive dispute avoidance
• International commercial arbitration
• Other types of international disputes
• Public international law advisory work
• Litigation before Canadian courts in cross-border matters, including arbitral award set-aside matters and arbitral award and foreign judgment enforcement matters 
• LegalTech solutions for dispute resolution

We also act as independent arbitrators.

Our approach to client service is simple: our clients are our top priority. 

We don't accept more work than we can handle. That's because we want to make sure that every one of our clients receives personalized, hands-on service from our partners. 

We get in the trenches with our clients, immerse ourselves in their business and their legal problem, and do everything we possibly can to deliver a successful result for them, whether that means avoiding a dispute or vigorously advocating for their interests before arbitral tribunals and courts.

We serve our clients in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
