In limited circumstances, it may be possible to challenge an arbitral award, even where the relevant rules of procedure provide that the award is final and binding. If an award is successfully challenged, in whole or in part, then it will usually be treated as being invalid and therefore not enforceable by the courts of the seat of arbitration but also by national courts elsewhere.
We provide practical counsel on whether, where, when and how an award may be challenged and the effects of a successful challenge. Our attorneys represent our clients through every step of the proceedings.
