Legal 500 2009
Disputes relating to traded commodities form a core part of Chambers’ practice. Members of chambers have acted for buyers and sellers in disputes involving coal, cobalt, coffee, cocoa, sugar, oils, gas, metals, rice, grains, soyabeans, and many other commodities.
Specialist arbitrations before most of the London-based commodity trade associations such as LME, GAFTA, FOSFA, and RSA are regularly undertaken. Members of chambers have also appeared before international arbitration tribunals in accordance with LCIA, ICC or UNCITRAL arbitration rules.
Chambers and Partners describes 7KBW as a major presence in the commodities sector. The Legal 500 praises 7KBW for its pooled commodities, insurance and shipping expertise.
