Aceris Law’s ICSID Arbitration Lawyers Desk is a dedicated team of lawyers at Aceris Law, a specialised international arbitration law firm, which accompanies clients involved in ICSID investment arbitrations, i.e., where the ICSID Arbitration Rules apply or the dispute is being resolved under the aegis of the ICSID.
Aceris Law’s Harvard, Oxford and Sorbonne-trained lawyers are admitted to bars of Western Europe, Eastern Europe and North America and have significant prior experience dealing with investment treaty arbitrations under the ICSID Arbitration Rules. We are experts in international arbitration: this is all that we do, which allows us to offer more cost-effective fees than other firms for the highest quality international arbitration legal representation.
Our ICSID Arbitration Lawyers Desk has access to all public international law jurisprudence and doctrine, while speaking French, Czech, Slovak, Serbo-Croatian, Spanish, Arabic, German, Italian, Romanian, Russian, Farsi and English. Our headquarters are located in Geneva, although we also have permanent access to offices in Washington, D.C. and Paris, where ICSID hearings usually take place, and we are always accessible to clients, regardless of their location, by high-speed videoconference.
We maintain ties to the best quantum experts for ICSID arbitrations, who are involved depending on the specific needs of a given arbitration.
ICSID arbitrations can be expensive, with the largest cost component being arbitrator fees and legal fees. Although the fees of arbitrators do not vary, by offering more competitive legal fees for high-quality international arbitration legal representation than other firms and being specialised in the domain, we generally can reduce the overall cost of ICSID arbitrations by well over half. We have also successfully assisted clients in obtaining third-party funding for investor-State arbitrations in the past to address the high costs of investment arbitration.
Our ICSID Arbitration Lawyers Desk has significant prior experience with ICSID arbitrations and an excellent track record. Aceris Law’s ICSID Arbitration Lawyers Desk represented a Turkish client against a country from Central Asia and a Dutch entity against Romania in the energy sector, our arbitration lawyers acted as counsel for a foreign investor in a dispute regarding the acquisition of shares and represented an American investor against an Eastern European State in the media industry, and Aceris Law LLC’s lawyers have also served as counsel in investment arbitrations involving Belarus, Sweden, the Dominican Republic, Croatia, China, Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Tunisia, Australia, Latvia, Poland, Equatorial Guinea and other States, under a variety of treaties. We have also represented States, who are attracted by our dynamism, expertise and the cost-effective legal fees we offer.
By having a dedicated team for ICSID arbitrations, our ICSID Arbitration Lawyers Desk ensures that ICSID arbitrations are handled efficiently and more cost-effectively than was traditionally possible.
