Dispute resolution methods
Arbitration
Arbitral awards, whether domestic or foreign, are enforceable under the auspices of domestic procedural law and international conventions, mainly the 1958 United Nations New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.
OBLIN’s team has experience acting from the counsel’s and the arbitrator’s perspective. The team has combined for over 100 cases as counsel and more than 30 arbitrator appointments. We handle both institutional and ad hoc proceedings and have extensive experience in international as well as domestic arbitration.

Litigation
The key to successful litigating lies in narrating the case in a conclusive, no-nonsense manner, and in staying true to that narrative throughout the case. With this timeless truth in mind, we offer our international clients mindful, results-driven litigation strategies.
With our multi-jurisdictional approach – our attorneys are admitted in six jurisdictions – we are also ideally placed to litigate before international courts and tribunals.
Enforcement
When it comes to enforcing judgments or arbitral awards, we identify assets, develop cross-border enforcement strategies, and coordinate legal work across multiple jurisdictions.
Interim relief
When time is of the essence, one can always rely on us for urgent interim relief work.
We have successfully obtained and defeated interim orders from courts and arbitral tribunals – in many cases where the time frame was critical.
Preservation of evidence
Sometimes, securing the evidence goes half the way of winning a case. At OBLIN, we know how to deal with and capitalize on difficult evidentiary situations in order to obtain a strategic advantage.
Strategic conflict management
To prevent a dispute before it even arises or improve the outcome in conflicts that cannot be avoided, we …
- systematically analyze past disputes,
- identify similarities, repetitive patterns, vulnerabilities, and potential improvements,
- provide specific guidance on how to prevent disputes and how to improve their management,
- supply easy-to-follow, step-by-step walkthroughs that can be implemented in any corporate or institutional environment,
- conduct careful strategic planning and clearly define the potential alternative to a negotiated outcome (commonly referred to as BATNA – the “Best Alternative To Negotiated Agreement”).
