Who we are and why we are different
The firms Lazareff Le Bars and Girard Gibbs LLP created a joint venture under the leadership of its partners Serge Lazareff, Benoit Le Bars, and Daniel C. Girard, in order to combine our expertise and provide unmatched representation in international arbitration.
Collectively, we have spent decades litigating, arbitrating, and successfully resolving international disputes in forums worldwide. Our consistent success stems from our attorneys’ knowledge of international law, our experience in a wide range of disputes, and our expertise with the rules of arbitration.
Our international arbitration lawyers are consistently retained by companies, associations, government entities, and individuals because of our skill, professionalism and ability to meet the needs of our clients.
- Experienced Arbitrators
In addition to representing clients in international arbitrations, several of our attorneys serve regularly as appointed arbitrators, overseeing and deciding arbitration proceedings. Working in this capacity allows for added perspective and strategic insight into the process. - Personalized Legal Guidance
Our knowledge and experience allow us to identify optimal courses of action and to manage cases efficiently recognizing our clients need to understand and feel comfortable with the course and direction of our representation. Our in-house lawyers and staff speak many different languages, including English, French, German, Spanish, Korean and Russian and we work with counsel who speak Arabic, various dialects of Chinese, Dutch, Flemish, Lithuanian, Malay, Urdu, Hindi, Gujarati and Bengali. - Competitive Rates
We understand that no single fee arrangement will work in every situation, particularly in light of the wide variety of circumstances present in international arbitration. We work to reach an arrangement acceptable for everyone involved. In some instances our attorneys work on a success-fee basis, receiving a percentage of the recovery upon a favorable resolution for our client. All initial case evaluations are free and confidential.
