Arbitration Chambers

Arbitration Chambers is the pre-eminent chambers dedicated to independent full-time international arbitrators. Their members count amongst the most experienced arbitration practitioners in the world and come from a mix of common law and civil law jurisdictions, with complementary specialities. Each of their arbitrators offers the broad array of skills and experience necessary to determine the most complex international disputes. Their members operate entirely independently from one another and do not accept instructions as counsel, which avoids the possibility of conflicts.

Arbitration Chambers was established in Hong Kong in 2012 by the head of chambers, Gavin Denton. In response to growing demand, and in recognition of the cities’ importance as seats of international arbitration, chambers expanded to London in 2017 and to New York in 2020.

The members of Arbitration Chambers are located around the globe and include some of the best and most highly respected practitioners in the world. Chambers’ arbitrators practice a mix of international commercial arbitration and investor-state arbitration and are much sought after by institutions and parties alike for appointments as sole arbitrator, co-arbitrator and presiding arbitrator.

Due to their significant arbitration experience and their diverse regional backgrounds, the members of Arbitration Chambers have familiarity with seats and governing laws from around the globe and of all of the major (and some of the lesser known) institutional rules.

Their members also hold significant positions at leading international arbitral bodies – including Lucy Reed as the President of SIAC, Juliet Blanch and Chiann Bao as Vice Presidents of the ICC International Court of Arbitration, and John Beechey CBE as the Chairman of the BVI International Arbitration Centre.

The arbitrators at Arbitration Chambers are supported by a capable international team of arbitration lawyers, who provide administrative and legal assistance as required.
