Our lawyers advised a Brazilian supplier of mineral products about a claim by a Chinese trader. The amount in dispute was more than US$50 million. The dispute was referred to arbitration in Beijing and administered by CIETAC (China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission). The Brazilian client is one of the largest suppliers in the world of the particular product and the Chinese party is one of the largest dealers of such product in mainland China. We worked closely with Brazilian and Chinese lawyers to assist the client to resolve the dispute satisfactorily.
We acted for the developer of one of Shanghai’s most luxurious residential/golf developments, in an ICC arbitration against its former contractor for breach of contract. The amount in dispute was over US$32 million. The matter was one of the few Shanghai projects governed by ICC arbitration (as opposed to CIETAC arbitration). The case was settled without full blown arbitration proceedings.
