Gaillard Banifatemi Shelbaya Disputes

Prestigious international arbitration firm Gaillard Banifatemi Shelbaya Disputes  impresses by its large and high-profile team that is retained by the world’s largest corporations as well as by some state entities (Egypt and Algeria particularly, but also Columbia and Peru) to handle their most sensitive commercial and investment arbitration proceedings. Mainly based in Paris but with complementary offices in London, New York, Cairo and Abu Dhabi, the firm has a very strong presence on large oil and gas and African and Arabic related disputes, currently acting in sensitive cases linked to the Israel-Palestine war. Its workload also encompasses many other industry sectors such as construction, telecoms or banking, and geographical zones such as Europe and Latin America. Finally, award exequatur is another key area of strength where the practice acts in large and complex proceedings. Practice head Yas Banifatemi and Mohamed Shelbaya (Paris and Cairos based) are two highly prominent figures in the arbitration circles. Also recommended are Coralie Darrigade, Maude Lebois, Thomas Parigot , Benjamin Siino, Yael Ribco Borman  as well as 2025’s promoted partners Youssef Daoud (Paris/Cairo), Anders Junker-Nilsson and André Marini .
