Lazareff Le Bars SARL has considerable and relevant experience in complex international commercial arbitration and Investment Treaty/ Investor-State arbitration. Often, mandates require LLB to work extensively on parallel proceedings in multiple jurisdictions during arbitrations and thereafter to enforce damage awards. Lazareff Le Bars has historically taken on extremely complex and difficult cases that many law firms would be hesitant to take on for two primary reasons- (i) a client has insufficient funding to ensure counsel fees and the costs of arbitration are available and/or (ii) premature concerns over the ability to be successful on the merits and damages claims themselves. LLB believes clients have a right to have access to justice and therefore LLB endeavours to provide clients with fee solutions whereby LLB will defer compensation and assist in obtaining third-party funding. We consider that LLB ‘puts its money where its mouth is” through the sharing of the risk to win the claim and win the greatest value of damages and to guarantee efficient cashflow payments to LLB for both the client and LLB’s benefit. 

Benoit Le Bars has been in arbitrator in over 250 cases and therefore we cannot present a detailed resume of his experience. One relevant recent case where Benoit acted as co-arbitrator in a significant LCIA arbitration case between Petrobras and Korean investors (Claimed damages- US$750 million). Both Louise Wright and Jean-André Diaz also have relevant experience as arbitrators.
