We represent investors and States in arbitrations under treaties, free trade agreements and investment agreements.
Three Crowns lawyers have delivered success for our clients in numerous investor-State disputes, including some of the most significant claims of the past two decades. Our long experience, acting for both investors and States, enables us to anticipate the tactics that our opponents typically deploy and devise strategies that position our clients to prevail.
We help individuals and corporates structure their transactions to benefit from investment treaty protections, and advise States on avoiding treaty claims.
Our experience includes proceedings under investment agreements as well as bilateral and multilateral investment treaties, governed by the ICSID, UNCITRAL, and SCC Rules.
