OUR HISTORY

Lazareff Le Bars (LLB) was founded in 2009 by Serge Lazareff and Benoit Le Bars. In Autumn 2018 and notwithstanding the challenges posed during the COVID pandemic, LLB initiated a major milestone plan to restructure its organization with a reallocation of resource across multiple jurisdictions with the head office remaining in Paris, France. Consequently, LLB has opened offices through a group of majority owned subsidiaries to date in Budapest (Hungary), Lisbon (Portugal), Abu Dhabi (UAE), London (United Kingdom) and Tortola (British Virgin Islands). 

This evolution of the structure reflects the trend of cases in those regions and further development in the firm’s business. Such geographical diversity was carefully constructed to address increased need to support clients with arbitration proceedings, related parallel proceedings in local courts, enforcement and collection of arbitral awards or court orders. Quite simply put, LLB intends to remain at the forefront of development in arbitration and continue to reply upon experts and local firms to address the ever-evolving complexities that arise in arbitration. LLB fee structures are flexible and highly competitive given the geographical presence and dedicated teams. 

” Simply put- A large footprint, high powered skilled personnel, cost competitive solutions and a strong track record of success “
