Disputes are increasingly resolved through arbitration. Arbitration has distinct benefits as a means of dispute resolution, because it offers impartial and independent arbitrators, a neutral venue, increased privacy and confidentiality, flexibility, finality and virtually world-wide enforceability of awards. Over the last decade, the number of arbitration proceedings has grown dramatically, in particular at an international level, and so too has the complexity and value of arbitration proceedings. As Miranda is involved in many jurisdictions, comprehensive understanding of international arbitration is vital for our Firm.

Our Arbitration practice advises many clients regarding the drafting, interpretation and enforcement of arbitration clauses, dispute and risk management. These disputes involve parties from a host of jurisdictions with a variety of governing laws. Clients routinely ask us to handle international arbitration issues in all jurisdictions covered by Miranda. We have also provided assistance in respect of interim measures and court litigation in connection with disputes subject to arbitration. The Firm has been actively involved in domestic arbitrations as well as arbitrations administered by the International Chamber of Commerce, the London Court of International Arbitration and ad hoc arbitration tribunals operating under the UNCITRAL Rules. Our arbitration specialists are often appointed arbitrators.

Our experience is particularly significant in the following areas:

. Investment disputes
. Marine disputes
. Disputes against States and parastatals
. Construction disputes
. Multiparty arbitrations
