International Arbitration
Resolving cross-border disputes with precision, efficiency and commercial insight.
When your business operates internationally, disputes can quickly span borders, laws and jurisdictions. International Arbitration offers you a practical and enforceable alternative to litigation, allowing you to resolve disagreements privately, efficiently and with global recognition.
At Adam Benedict, we represent you in complex international commercial arbitration matters, advising UK and international businesses, investors and professionals. Our focus is on delivering commercially minded strategies and enforceable results, underpinned by deep sector experience and trusted international collaboration.

What is International Arbitration?
International Arbitration is a neutral, private process that allows parties from different countries to resolve disputes outside of national courts. It is governed by the international law of arbitration and recognised worldwide under the New York Convention, ensuring awards can be enforced in over 160 countries.
Unlike traditional court proceedings, arbitration is confidential, flexible and tailored to the needs of the parties. It is commonly used for international commercial arbitration involving cross-border contracts, joint ventures, energy projects, or complex financial arrangements.
Parties often choose London as the seat of arbitration due to the strong reputation of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA) and the reliability of English law. Even when neither party is based in the UK, London remains a preferred venue for its neutrality, experienced arbitrators and predictable outcomes.
When to Instruct an International Arbitration Lawyer
Our clients instruct an international arbitration lawyer when:
Cross-border contracts have broken down and need a neutral dispute resolution forum.
Construction, energy or infrastructure disputes arise across multiple jurisdictions.
Technology and intellectual property issues involve overseas partners or licensing disagreements.
Joint venture or shareholder disputes include parties registered in different countries.
Investment or treaty disputes require expert representation before arbitral tribunals.
Enforcement of a foreign arbitral award is needed against assets held in England or abroad.
Our arbitration international team ensures that every aspect, from jurisdiction and procedure to enforcement, is handled with technical accuracy and commercial focus.
Why Businesses Choose International Arbitration
Neutral forum that avoids home-court advantage and national bias.
Global enforceability of awards under international conventions.
Confidentiality that protects sensitive commercial information.
Specialist decision-makers with deep industry and sector expertise.
Procedural flexibility allowing faster, cost-effective outcomes.
For many clients, these advantages make arbitration a strategic business decision rather than just a legal one. Our lawyers help you leverage these benefits to achieve the best possible result.
