Wij hebben een ruime ervaring met alle mogelijke nationale en internationale arbitrageprocedures, voor instanties zoals het Belgisch Arbitraal voor de Sport (BAS), CEPANI, Federation of Belgian Diamond Bourses (FDBD), ICC, SCC, UNCITRAL, en ad hoc. Daarnaast hebben wij ruim ervaring met mediation en met andere vormen van alternative dispute resolution, zoals bemiddelingsprocedures, mini-trials etc.

Meer in het bijzonder hebben wij veel ervaring met procedures waarbij de opschorting van de tenuitvoerlegging of de vernietiging van arbitrale uitspraken wordt nagestreefd, en met procedures waarbij buitenlandse staten betrokken zijn.
