INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION

The Mentors Group, affiliated with Outline Chambers, brings extensive experience in international arbitration, enabling us to offer clients access to expert counsel across a broad range of complex cross-border disputes. Members of Outline Chambers are regularly instructed in arbitration cases governed by the rules of leading international arbitral institutions, including the LCIA, UNCITRAL, ICC, DIAC, ICSID, and SCC.

The subject matter of these disputes spans diverse commercial sectors, including construction and engineering, energy and natural resources, banking and finance, technology and telecommunications, joint ventures and shareholder disputes, international trade, sovereign bond disputes, asset expropriation matters, and issues involving international sanctions. Outline Chambers has particular expertise in both investment treaty dispute settlement (ISDS) and complex commercial disputes.

Several members of Outline Chambers possess comprehensive expertise across the full spectrum of arbitration-related court applications, including challenges to enforcement of arbitral awards under the New York Convention, jurisdictional challenges, anti-suit and anti-arbitration injunctions, and applications for interim relief. Members regularly represent and advise both sovereign states and private companies in high-profile arbitrations and participate in ancillary proceedings before national courts.

Recent examples of their work include defending states in investment treaty arbitrations concerning asset expropriation across the oil and gas, retail, construction, and banking sectors; handling complex sovereign bond disputes and international sanctions matters; and representing a private art collector in a dispute against an art gallery arising from an investment and consignment agreement.

Through this affiliation, Outline Chambers is well positioned to support clients requiring specialist arbitration counsel at the highest level.
