Overview

We pride ourselves on leveraging our arbitration experience to provide cost-effective arbitration advice and representation to both Australian and international entities.

Experience


Energy and Renewables

  • Representing an electricity generator in two arbitrations heard concurrently under the UNCITRAL Rules, seated in Melbourne, Australia, concerning the failure of a subsea interconnector, resulting in favourable awards regulating ongoing use of the asset and ultimately enabling termination of the underlying services contract.
  • Acting for an Australian Renewables company with being the first Australian Energy Regulator access arbitration and the client to gain access to a gas pipeline on commercially acceptable terms.
