Brick Court Chambers is described as a ‘one-stop shop’ when it comes to international arbitration and its members are regularly instructed in high-value international arbitrations seated across the globe, arbitration related court cases and in investor-state disputes. Clients turn to the set for their ’huge strength in depth’, where at Silk level, members often handle high profile and politically sensitive cases, such as
Mark Howard KC leading a team representing the Nigerian government in the Process and Industrial Developments Ltd v Federal Republic of Nigeria case, setting aside an arbitration award which the court found to be procured by falsified and the use of documents which should not have been disclosed to P&ID;
Harry Matovu KC represented Nigeria in earlier stages of the dispute. Juniors in the set equally have strength in investment treaty proceedings, an area in which
Zahra Al-Rikabi and
Edward Ho have recently been active.
