Aceris Law LLC, a leading boutique international arbitration law firm, is pleased to announce its inclusion in the prestigious GAR 100, compiled by the Global Arbitration Review (GAR).
The GAR 100 is an annual guide that recognizes top law firms worldwide for their excellence and expertise in the field of arbitration. Aceris Law’s inclusion in this esteemed list reaffirms its position as a key player in the international arbitration arena, known for its dedication to ensuring each client receives exceptional value for its legal expenditures while leaving no stone unturned to resolve each dispute in its client’s favour.
Aceris Law was founded one decade ago by William Kirtley, although its lawyers have over two decades of international arbitration experience. Its team is composed of both common law and civil law lawyers, and it serves clients in all jurisdictions. Its lawyers have provided international arbitration legal representation in hundreds of arbitrations and are known for their fierce dedication to their client’s interests and outstanding track record.
While there are a number of arbitration practices today, Aceris Law has several unique characteristics. As the primary complaint regarding international arbitration is its cost, and legal fees are the most significant cost component in international arbitration, Aceris Law always offers reasonable and transparent legal fees for the highest quality arbitration legal representation. Moreover, Aceris Law’s lawyers’ work is location agnostic. It has worked with clients from all regions of the world, from South America, to the Middle East, to North America, to East Asia, to Western Europe, to South Asia and Oceania, and can meet at the offices of its clients regardless of the location, in order to gather evidence and prepare case strategy. Furthermore, its team is young and dynamic, tirelessly pursuing its clients’ interests in order to achieve a positive outcome. In addition, its team is constantly accessible and highly responsive, always working in a highly cooperative and transparent manner with its clients.
In its profile of Aceris Law’s international arbitration practice, GAR highlights the appointment of founding partner, William Kirtley, as arbitrator in a USD 200 billion investment treaty claim. It also reports several of the firm’s recent successes for its clients, including a USD 27 million win against a South Korean LED component manufacturer at the International Centre for Dispute Resolution and the defeat of hundreds of millions of dollars in claims in a recent SCC arbitration.

Additionally, the profile features glowing reviews from Aceris Law’s current clients for ICSID arbitrations. A French national whom Aceris is helping to bring a USD 800 million claim against Kuwait over an investment in the media services sector said Aceris has “a very high level of knowledge in the arbitration field” with a “human touch and full dedication”. A British investor pursuing a EUR 62 million claim against Hungary over a waste management enterprise said the team is “precise on timing, research [and] procedure”. He also called Mr. Kirtley an “outstanding strategist” and noted the “meticulous” work of senior associate Zuzana Vysudilova.
As Aceris Law continues to expand its global footprint and strengthen its presence in key arbitration hubs around the world, its inclusion in the GAR 100 serves as a testament to its commitment to legal excellence and client advocacy.
