International Arbitration& Strategic DisputeResolution

ND Law is an independent arbitration practice dedicated to complex international disputes, where arbitration is approached as a strategic choice rather than a procedural reflex.

The practice is built on a clear conviction: no individual lawyer, and no fixed firm structure, can be expert in everything — but a carefully assembled team can be expert of a dispute.

ND Law operates through a trusted international network of senior arbitration practitioners, arbitrators, sector specialists, negotiation experts, investment treaty specialists, mediation professionals and enforcement experts, enabling the constitution of genuinely bespoke teams tailored to the specific legal, technical, sectoral and jurisdictional features of each case.

This model allows for a level of agility, precision and strategic alignment that fixed firm structures — even those with multiple offices worldwide — cannot consistently offer.

Strategic Approach

Each dispute is approached in light of its specific sectoral dynamics, contractual architecture, applicable legal systems, cultural environment, political context and geographical exposure. The practice places particular emphasis on understanding how these elements interact in practice, and on ensuring that arbitral strategy reflects not only the legal framework of the dispute, but the realities in which it arises.

Practice Scope

The practice combines arbitration advocacy with targeted strategic support, assisting clients at critical moments of the dispute lifecycle — before proceedings are initiated, during arbitration, or when settlement or enforcement options are being assessed.

Representation

The practice advises and represents clients in international commercial and investment arbitration, as well as in arbitration-related court proceedings.

Matters typically involve high-value and high-stakes disputes, where legal analysis must be integrated with procedural strategy, enforcement considerations, sector-specific expertise and broader institutional or geopolitical constraints. Representation systematically integrates sector-specific considerations, contractual structures, cross-cultural dynamics and the political and geographical context in which the dispute unfolds.

Strategic & Tailored Assistance

Alongside representation, the practice provides focused, independent and discreet strategic assistance, designed to support informed decision-making at key stages of a dispute.

These services are deliberately selective, pragmatic and aligned with the client's broader objectives — whether commercial, institutional or sovereign — and delivered through teams assembled specifically for the issues at stake.

Dispute resolution as a strategic choice, not a reflex.
