Chambers Review
Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer has a substantial and comprehensive commercial arbitration offering, growing in regional strength and drawing on the resources of a globally integrated practice to deliver the requisite expertise.

Its client base also includes private equity funds and construction sector clients. The team provides its own advocacy and maintains a particularly strong presence in Hong Kong and Singapore, plus a rising profile in relation to the handling of Indian disputes. It is notably developing its capabilities in the construction and general commercial arbitration spheres. Eurus Energy, PTT Energy Resources and the Republic of Korea feature on the firm's client roster.
