Mecha­ni­cal engi­nee­ring or com­plex con­s­truc­tion pro­jects often not only touch the limits of tech­no­lo­gy but also encoun­ter timing- and finan­cing chal­lenges. Dis­pu­tes the­r­e­fo­re threa­ten to jeo­par­di­se com­ple­ti­on and should be resol­ved expe­di­tious­ly. At A/L/M Part­ners, we have suc­cessful­ly hand­led such cases befo­re arbi­tral tri­bu­nals and sta­te courts, as well as in Dis­pu­te Board Pro­cee­dings and in Expert Deter­mi­na­ti­on Proceedings. 

Relevant matters include:

Repre­sen­ting a joint ven­ture of two inter­na­tio­nal che­mi­cal com­pa­nies as Clai­mant in a high-volu­me ICC arbi­tra­ti­on sea­ted in Paris against ano­ther inter­na­tio­nal che­mi­cal com­pa­ny regar­ding com­mer­cial aspects in the cour­se of the exten­si­on of con­tracts for the joint ope­ra­ti­on of a che­mi­cal plant

Repre­sen­ting an indus­tri­al gases manu­fac­tu­rer against the ope­ra­tor of a steel mill in Cen­tral Asia regar­ding sub­stan­ti­al claims for dama­ges fol­lo­wing a pipe­line incident
