Arbitration
Efficient, expert dispute resolution.
Arbitration offers a private, flexible, and internationally enforceable method of resolving commercial disputes. Our arbitration team provides expert representation in domestic and international arbitration proceedings under all major institutional rules.
We advise on arbitration clause drafting, seat selection, arbitrator appointments, and procedural strategy. Our team has extensive experience under the rules of leading arbitral institutions including the LCIA, ICC, ICSID, SCC, SIAC, and UNCITRAL. London remains the world's pre-eminent arbitration seat, and the Arbitration Act 1996 provides a supportive statutory framework with limited scope for court intervention — a position reinforced by the Supreme Court's decision in Halliburton v Chubb [2020] on arbitrator impartiality. We combine technical arbitration expertise with deep sector knowledge to deliver compelling advocacy and achieve favourable outcomes.
International Commercial Arbitration
Representing parties in complex international arbitration proceedings under institutional and ad hoc rules across global arbitration centres.
Arbitration Clause Drafting
Crafting effective arbitration agreements that provide certainty, avoid procedural disputes, and serve your commercial objectives.
Arbitral Award Enforcement
Enforcing arbitral awards domestically and internationally under the New York Convention across 170+ contracting states.
Investor-State Arbitration
Representing investors and states in BIT disputes, treaty claims, and ICSID proceedings involving sovereign risk.

by our clients
“We engaged Masl Legal for an arbitration seated in London under LCIA rules, involving a £1.8m claim arising from a terminated distribution agreement across the Middle East. Their strategic approach to document production and expert evidence was exceptional — they identified a critical contractual estoppel argument that the opposing party's firm had overlooked entirely. We secured a favourable award of £1.4m plus costs, resolved within 12 months of commencement.”

“When we engaged Masl Legal for our corporate restructuring, we were preparing for a seed fundraise while simultaneously integrating an acquisition. Their corporate team structured a group reorganisation that satisfied our incoming investor's requirements, preserved our R&D tax credit eligibility, and resolved legacy shareholder issues through a bespoke drag-along mechanism. The transaction completed on schedule and we closed our £2m seed round three weeks later.”
