International Arbitration

We have a strong international commercial arbitration practice. We act in both institutional and ad hoc arbitrations, as well as in enforcement proceedings before the Supreme Court of Mauritius and on appeal to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. Where required, we resort to our network of friendly firms for assistance on matters of foreign law.
