He has acted as counsel and arbitrator in dozens of international and national arbitrations, both under institutional rules such as the ICC, LCIA and Swiss Rules, and also ad hoc. His cases involve a wide area of matters, in particular M&A transactions and shareholders’ agreements, but also agency and distribution, sale of goods and construction, including turn-key projects.
