Arbitration & Mediation

At COBALT, we prioritise negotiations and mediation as effective alternative dispute resolution methods. When these avenues are not viable, our team adeptly represents clients before arbitration tribunals, excelling in complex commercial and multi-jurisdictional disputes across various legal sectors.

Our clientele includes corporate entities and governmental bodies engaged in both local and international arbitration proceedings. We possess extensive experience in arbitral proceedings conducted under the arbitration rules of various prominent institutions such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), Stockholm Chamber of Commerce (SCC), London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), Finland Arbitration Institute (FAI), the chambers of commerce in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, as well as UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules.

Our success stems from a collaborative approach that combines high-level arbitration expertise with specialised legal knowledge pertinent to each case. Memberships in networks like Lex Mundi and the World Services Group, along with our pan-Baltic cooperation, enable us to effectively manage arbitration disputes involving multiple jurisdictions.

We offer comprehensive support throughout the dispute resolution process, including:

  • Contractual assistance – advising during contract drafting, formulating arbitration clauses, and suggesting most suitable arbitral institution, seat, and governing law.
  • Legal opinions – providing insights on procedures, best strategies and potential outcome of the dispute.
  • Serving as legal counsel in arbitration proceedings – advocating for clients in domestic and international arbitration proceedings.
  • Setting aside of arbitral awards – assisting in annulment proceedings in local courts.
  • Enforcement of arbitral awards – assisting in recognition and enforcement proceedings of both international and domestic arbitral awards.

Additionally, our team members frequently serve as arbitrators, bringing a balanced perspective to the arbitration process. At COBALT, we are dedicated to delivering tailored dispute resolution strategies that align with our clients’ specific needs and objectives.
