Effective dispute resolution requires thorough understanding of the governing statutes, institutional rules, and contractual frameworks that shape every proceeding. Hall Maines Lugrin, P.C. advises clients on high-stakes international disputes across the globe, including proceedings seated in Europe, North America, South America, Asia and beyond.

Regardless of the forum, our focus is on positioning our clients to achieve the most favorable outcome possible. Our attorneys are well-versed in the procedural frameworks governing the full range of international proceedings, including those administered by the International Chamber of Commerce’s International Court of Arbitration (ICC), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), the Dubai International Arbitration Centre, the Singapore International Arbitration Centre, and the American Arbitration Association’s International Centre for Dispute Resolution (AAA), and those conducted under the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL) Arbitration Rules, and ad hoc proceedings tailored to the specific needs of the parties. Our clients span a broad range of industries, and we bring particular depth to energy matters, including upstream oil and gas, oilfield services, and power, as well as insurance, manufacturing, and other complex commercial disputes.

A Track Record of Significant Results

Our lawyers have recently secured meaningful results in high-stakes proceedings across multiple venues and industries, including:

• Representation of a Texas-based energy company pursuing $30 million in damages arising from the construction of an offshore production facility, litigated before the London Court of International Arbitration
• Representation of a major oil and gas producer in a proceeding involving more than $200 million in dispute and secured a favorable resolution
• Representation of the primary limited partner in a partnership dissolution dispute over asset allocation, resulting in an award granting our client all relief requested
  

In addition to representing parties, our attorneys have served as arbitrators and court appointed special masters. That experience shapes how we think about every case we prepare and present.

Award Enforcement & Related Court Proceedings

Securing a favorable award is only part of the work. Hall Maines Lugrin, P.C. represents clients through every stage of the process, from enforcing arbitration agreements against resistant counterparties and defeating improper challenges to forum selection, to confirming domestic and international awards in federal and state court and coordinating enforcement proceedings abroad through local counsel where required. When grounds exist, we pursue vacatur of adverse awards, and we defend hard-won results against challenge with the same rigor we brought to obtaining them. Our attorneys are fluent in the interplay between the Federal Arbitration Act, the Texas Arbitration Act, and applicable institutional rules, allowing us to move efficiently through court proceedings and keep our clients focused on what matters most: the outcome that advances their business interests.
