When you need help with resolving your Central and Eastern Europe (CEE)-related disputes, look no further than Dentons. We are recognized as having one of the CEE’s premier international arbitration practices, and our lawyers have handled some of the most visible, significant and precedent-setting cases in the region. 

Dentons is unique among international law firms both in the breadth of its presence in the CEE, and in the strength of its litigation capacity in the region. This provides an essential foundation for assisting our clients in arbitrations involving a CEE law element, as well as for providing a one-stop service where there are parallel proceedings in the CEE courts, or for assisting with enforcement of awards in CEE countries. We are therefore ideally suited to represent you in CEE-related disputes, wherever the seat may be. We have particular experience of acting in disputes under the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC) and the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), as well as regional CEE arbitral institutions. Dentons’ arbitration lawyers have in particular obtained an LCIA US$2.43bn award, one of the largest commercial arbitration awards ever, in relation to a CEE-related dispute in the telecommunications sector.

We also have specialist experience of acting both for investors and CEE states in investment disputes, including under the rules of the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).

We draw on our knowledge of related sectors to act confidently in disputes relating to technical fields such as energy, construction and engineering, IT, mining, telecommunications and privatization agreements.

Prevention is the best cure—that is why a large part of our work includes advising on the drafting of arbitration clauses and in the negotiation and settlement of claims before proceedings have been commenced.

When a CEE-related dispute arises, turn to Dentons—we have you covered.
