Dispute Resolution & Arbitration

CAC has substantial experience in complex commercial disputes and international arbitration, particularly in the construction, infrastructure, energy and natural resources sectors. Our lawyers have acted as counsel in ICC, ICOC and ad hoc arbitration proceedings involving major construction, infrastructure and commercial disputes, as well as advising clients and international law firms on high-value disputes governed by international arbitration rules.

Our dispute resolution practice draws on the firm’s combined experience in commercial and public law. We advise clients from the early stages of a dispute, including claim assessment, contract interpretation and dispute strategy, through negotiations, arbitration and court proceedings. Our experience is particularly strong in disputes arising from EPC and construction contracts, infrastructure projects, energy and natural resources investments and complex commercial arrangements.

Our arbitration experience includes acting as counsel in several ICC proceedings involving multi-million-dollar construction and commercial claims, as well as advising an international law firm on two major disputes subject to ICC arbitration involving aggregate claims of approximately USD 200 million. Our lawyers have also acted in ad hoc arbitration proceedings and represented clients in complex construction and infrastructure disputes.

Members of our team were involved as legal counsel in the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Crude Oil Pipeline Project, one of the largest cross-border energy and infrastructure projects in the region, and advised and represented the project company in arbitration proceedings arising from disputes with contractors. This experience continues to inform our approach to complex construction and infrastructure disputes involving international contractors, project agreements and FIDIC-based and bespoke contracts.
