Mining
Exceptional depth and breadth of mining sector expertise
Our team has a formidable track record in resolving the most complex global mining disputes. We act as counsel in one of the largest ongoing mining disputes worldwide and secured a full victory for our client.
We have in-depth expertise in disputes between States and investors, to which we bring our experience in international arbitration and a thorough understanding of the technical and business side of the industry. Our lawyers act as both counsel and arbitrators.
We advise mining companies – both junior miners and international majors – and States at every stage of the mineral resource value chain. We also act for financial institutions, service suppliers such as consultants and contractors, and other mining sector participants.
Recent disputes address issues of resource nationalism, social and environmental risk, security, permits, supply of mining equipment, adverse domestic court decisions, and legislative reforms. We are often at the forefront of new developments and design case-specific arguments which set new precedents.
