With ‘unparalleled experience in handling complex international arbitration cases’, CANDEY is routinely mandated to act in high-stakes, multi-jurisdictional commercial arbitrations, both ad hoc and institutional. The practice is also expanding its treaty and investor-state arbitration credentials. James Collins acts in big-ticket referrals from the CIS; and Yuri Botiuk represents oligarchs, offshore entities, state corporations and private individuals. Chris Bailey is a January 2025 hire from Stephenson Harwood LLP’s Singapore office; while Serene Allen departed the firm in December 2024.
