Aceris Law is pleased to have won another ICC arbitration under Swiss law for a European client regarding the construction of a cement plant in a West African State. Representing the Employer, the dispute concerned back charges, liquidated damages for delay and damages caused by the breach of the arbitration agreement. As usual, Aceris Law’s client was awarded the majority of its costs for the arbitration in the Final Award, with the Tribunal specifying that “[Aceris Law] conducted themselves in an expeditious, cost-effective and professional manner throughout the proceedings.”
“We are always glad to win another international arbitration for another client in a highly professional and also cost-effective manner,” said William Kirtley of Aceris Law. “We have not lost a single case with our current team, including construction, commercial and a successful investor-State arbitration. Our current team took over a half-decade to build, after going through hundreds of potential candidates and trial periods with numerous lawyers. I quite strongly believe that Aceris Law provides the best value in the field of international arbitration in the world today. The only firms that offer remotely similar quality in the field of international arbitration charge three times or more our legal fees. This is a shame, since the primary complaint of users of international arbitration is its cost, which is primarily dependent on the legal fees that are being demanded from clients.”
