The everyday contracts of international trade produce some of the fastest-moving arbitrations: a cargo rejected, a distributor terminated, an agent claiming compensation. We sit in sale of goods and distribution cases of all different sizes and natures – from simple debt recovery claims, to complex disputes involving long-term sales and distribution.

Typical disputes

• International sale of goods, including CISG contracts
• Commodity supply: coal, coke, iron ore and equipment

• Non-competition and post-termination obligations
• Charterparties and shipping-related trade
