Ashurst

Recognised for its ‘excellent practice in international arbitration’ and ‘depth of expertise,’ Ashurst has a handle on three core areas of arbitration. In international arbitration, the firm’s strengths in global energy and resources, infrastructure and construction play a role in the practice, with Georgia Quick heading the Australian International Arbitration practice and has conducted high-value and complex international arbitrations under the ICC, LCIA, HKIAC, UNCITRAL and ACICA Rules. In infrastructure disputes, the team provides an ‘end-to-end' project solution for clients across all stages, from procurement to arbitration and litigation. Bill Smith and Jeremy Chenoweth are noted for their extensive experience in infrastructure disputes, with Smith regularly handling matters both in London and Dubai. Within energy and resource disputes, Adam Firth continues to act on disputes arising in the oil, gas, mining and power sectors, advising government and industry clients through the full project delivery lifecycle. Further names to note include Luke Carbon who was promoted to Partner earlier this year, and Erin Eckhoff who recently joined from King & Wood Mallesons.
