Commercial Arbitration involves advising and advocating with respect to contractual provisions for arbitration and ADR, advising as to appropriate arbitration rules and procedures, and conducting arbitration either ad hoc or under the rules of key arbitration institutions such as the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), the NAFTA, UNCITRAL Rules, ICSID Rules and the Rules of the British Columbia International Commercial Arbitration Centre (BCICAC). As an alternative to litigation, commercial arbitration cuts across almost every area of law and business activity such as banking; intellectual property; insurance; engineering, construction and infrastructure projects; agreements for joint development of natural resources such as oil and gas; financial and capital markets.
