International Arbitration
Operating globally by making foreign investments and entering into contracts with foreign business partners entails the risk of a dispute that can or must be heard outside of domestic courts. A significant advantage is gained by having financial consultants who are experienced in presenting evidence before arbitral tribunals around the globe.
Navigant’s international arbitration professionals have presented expert evidence and opinions in most of the renowned arbitral institutions including the ICC, ICSID, CEPANI, AAA, LCIA, and PCA, as well as various chambers of commerce and before ad hoc arbitral tribunals operating under the UNCITRAL rules. Clients include some of the largest corporations in the resident country (or the world), small corporations, family-owned enterprises and governments.
Investor/United States arbitration is a specialised field of international arbitration brought under bilateral or multilateral investment treaties that encompass public international law issues. These arbitrations have been growing rapidly since the mid-1990s, initially as a result of an increase in the number of treaties signed between nations, but more recently due to a rise in global commodity prices and the election of opposition governments with an agenda of reversing the past. The financial, economic and damages analyses required in investor/United States arbitration are distinct from other forms of litigation. As these disputes concern investments (e.g. financial assets) rather than purely contractual matters, they require a combination of valuation skills and financial expertise in foreign investment. Navigant Consulting is a leader in investor/United States disputes with balanced representation of both investors and states.
