Chloe has been involved with both ad hoc arbitrations and arbitrations under the rules of major international arbitration institutions, including the ICC, ICSID and ad hoc arbitration under the UNCITRAL Rules.

Chloe has extensive experience of handling complex domestic and international matters, both contentious and advisory, often with a sovereign or political dimension.  She has extensive experience of seeking third party funding for claims. Chloe has also advised clients on pre-investment structuring and post-investment restructuring in foreign jurisdictions so as to obtain treaty protection, and on including arbitration clauses in contracts.
