Mayer Brown plays a leading role in the resolution of international disputes. We frequently represent corporations, companies, partnerships, financial institutions, insurers and governmental entities before the leading international arbitration bodies. We also advise our clients on how to reduce risk when entering into cross-border transactions and investments. When disputes arise, we put together lean teams of experienced practitioners who know how to overcome such problems as multiple languages, documents scattered across the globe, and differing legal traditions to achieve desired results in a cost-efficient manner.

The practice covers the globe. In Europe, international arbitration is practiced from our London, Paris and Frankfurt offices. Our lawyers in Hong Kong and Beijing provide international arbitration counsel throughout Asia. We are equally strong in the United States where we offer our services from our offices in Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles and New York. We have substantial experience before all the world's leading arbitral bodies, including the International Chamber of Commerce, International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, International Centre for Dispute Resolution, London Court of International Arbitration, China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Singapore International Arbitration Centre, and Stockholm Chamber of Commerce.
