Three Crowns has been ranked in the top 2 for international arbitration in Global Arbitration Review’s GAR 30 rankings for 2026, achieving this position for the second consecutive year. The commentary reflects the firm’s “unbroken upwards progression”, with GAR highlighting that Three Crowns is “winning the year’s bet-the-company category”, which constitutes cases worth US$1 billion or more. Clients note that the team was “a powerful ally” for their in-house team, “leaving no stone unturned”.
The report highlights some of Three Crowns’ current matters, including defending the consortium that operates the Kashagan gas field against a monumental US$200 billion claim lodged by the government of Kazakhstan – one of the largest arbitrations on record; advising Crescent Petroleum in an arbitration against the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) worth US$32 billion (the firm has previously secured and successfully enforced a US$2.4 billion award for Crescent against NIOC); representing ArcelorMittal in an ICC claim brought by Senegal, which is seeking to cancel a US$150 million settlement agreement; and defending Finland in its first-ever ICSID cases brought by European investors in the country’s largest electricity distribution network.
The GAR 100 is an annual guide to the top one hundred international arbitration practices globally. As part of this, the GAR 30 uses objective data to single out the highest performing firms within the rankings.
Three Crowns entered the GAR rankings in 2016, less than two years after its launch, and it has appeared in the top 10 every year since 2017.
