Litigation About Arbitration

Covington’s arbitration and litigation practitioners have extensive experience handling collateral litigation about arbitration in multiple jurisdictions, including judicial proceedings:

• to compel or resist arbitration;
• to vacate or correct arbitral awards;
• to recognize or enforce arbitral awards, including actions to seize assets;
• to seek or resist interim protections or injunctive relief during the pendency of an arbitration; or
• to challenge the conduct of an arbitral proceeding on jurisdictional or procedural grounds.

Our lawyers are preeminent in this area, having handled recent leading cases relating to efforts to enforce arbitration agreements and awards in the United States and beyond. We have handled a broad range of litigation relating to arbitration, including litigation involving issues under the New York Convention, the ICSID Convention and 22 U.S. Code § 1650a (its implementing statute in the U.S.), the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act, the UK Arbitration Act 1996, the U.S. Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, and other laws.
