Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP‘s London arbitration team is consistently appointed to work on complex, high value-mandates; and it has an enviable track record of victories and successful awards. Heading the international arbitration group in London, Craig Tevendale acts as counsel, advocate and arbitrator in ad hoc proceedings and before all the major arbitral institutions; Andrew Cannon ’effortlessly masterminds case strategy’; Christian Leathley focuses much of his practice on clients’ interests in Central and South America; Chris Parker KC acts in international disputes in the energy, life sciences and mining sectors; and Mike McClure KC ‘has incredibly broad international experience’. Other key figures are Hannah Ambrose, whose caseload covers both commercial and investment arbitration; Charlie Morgan, who is ’leading the AI revolution in arbitration’; and Louise Barber, whose experience includes LCIA, SIAC, PCA, ICC, WIPO, UNCITRAL, HKIAC, and ICSID proceedings. Anuradha Agnihotri and Joel Halliday are also experienced practitioners.
