Kennedys recognised in GAR 100 for excellence in international arbitration

We have been included in this year’s Global Arbitration Review (GAR) 100, the definitive guide of the world’s leading law firms in international arbitration.

Widely recognised as the benchmark for excellence in international arbitration, GAR’s 19th edition reflects a rigorous, global assessment of the market. Our inclusion reinforces the firm’s strong global presence, established reputation, and consistent involvement in complex, high-value disputes across a wide range of sectors.

With a globally connected team of specialists, we advise multinational companies, investors, State-owned entities, and States on some of the most challenging and high-stakes international arbitration matters.

Thomas Kendra, international arbitration partner, commented: “Our inclusion in the GAR 100 is a great indication of Kennedys’ position as one of the most exciting and fastest-growing arbitration practices across the globe.

Our research for the ranking showed that we are currently active in well over 60 live arbitration matters across our 45 offices, with several billion dollars in dispute. This highlights the strength and ambition of our dynamic international team and demonstrates how clients place their trust in us to handle their most important disputes. We look forward to continuing to build on this well-deserved recognition in the years to come.”

International arbitration at Kennedys

Our teams are strategically located across our 77 offices and associated offices, covering the world’s main arbitration hubs in the UK and Europe, the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and the Americas. This means we can give local advice with the insight of our global network.

We have extensive experience of conducting cases across all sectors on an ad hoc basis or under different institutional rules in all significant forums, both representing clients and also sitting as arbitrators and board members in some of the world’s preeminent arbitral centres. 

We also assist with proceedings in local courts to enforce arbitral awards and we regularly obtain and defend against interim remedies, including worldwide freezing injunctions, Chabra injunctions and proprietary injunctions.

We bring deep experience representing clients in international commercial arbitration, investment treaty arbitration and multi-jurisdictional disputes.

We routinely represent multinational companies, investors, State-owned entities, and States in complex, high value international arbitration and enforcement proceedings around the world - those that cross borders, cultures, jurisdictions, political structures, and treaties. 

Our lawyers are also regularly appointed arbitrators and can thus give tailored advice that takes into account the manner in which a dispute will be decided.

As one of the world’s pre-eminent insurance firms, we also act for insurers and reinsurers in arbitral disputes under their insurance policies and in defence of claims. We are global leaders in Bermuda Form arbitration and our impressive team, based notably in London, Bermuda and the United States, has been instructed on matters since the policy was introduced in 1985.
