Many disputes can be resolved effectively before arbitration proceedings formally begin, saving time, costs, and preserving valuable business relationships. LexArb assists clients in developing comprehensive pre-arbitration strategies, including negotiation frameworks, structured mediation, and other amicable settlement mechanisms.
We evaluate the legal and commercial positions of the parties, assess leverage points, and craft settlement approaches that align with our clients’ strategic goals. Where appropriate, we prepare and send formal legal notices, engage in direct negotiations, or participate in multi-tier dispute resolution procedures.
By combining legal expertise with strategic insight, LexArb helps clients achieve favorable settlements while maintaining their rights and preserving procedural advantages should arbitration ultimately be required.

Mediation offers a confidential, flexible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional dispute resolution. At LexArb, we support clients in navigating mediation processes to achieve amicable settlements that preserve business relationships while avoiding the expense and uncertainty of prolonged litigation or arbitration.
Our team assists clients at every stage — from pre-mediation strategy and selection of mediators, to preparing position papers, participating in mediation sessions, and documenting settlement agreements. We ensure that our clients’ commercial and legal interests are fully protected throughout the process.
Whether used as a stand-alone mechanism or as part of a multi-tier dispute resolution clause, mediation can deliver practical, timely, and mutually beneficial outcomes. LexArb’s mediators and counsel are trained to facilitate constructive dialogue and unlock solutions in even the most complex commercial disputes.

Construction and infrastructure projects often involve high-value contracts, complex technical issues, and multi-party relationships. At LexArb, we represent clients in disputes arising under FIDIC contracts, EPC agreements, and other industry-standard forms. Our team has extensive experience handling delay and disruption claims, variations, payment disputes, and termination issues, ensuring that your rights are protected at every stage. We offer strategic counsel from the initiation of claims through to final award, whether under institutional rules or ad hoc proceedings.

The energy sector requires deep understanding of both commercial frameworks and regulatory environments. LexArb provides specialized representation in disputes involving oil & gas operations, renewable energy projects, mining activities, and concession agreements. We act for investors, contractors, operators, and governments in complex, often cross-border arbitrations. Our expertise spans upstream, midstream, and downstream disputes, enabling us to deliver effective strategies in technically demanding and politically sensitive cases.
