Enforcement-back planning
Seat and procedure chosen for where the award must ultimately execute — the question most parties ask three years too late.
International arbitration under ICC, LCIA and UNCITRAL frameworks: Aun & Co. acts for parties in cross-border disputes connected to Israel and the region.
International arbitration is the default dispute mechanism of cross-border commerce because it solves the problem courts cannot: a neutral forum whose award enforces in over 170 states under the New York Convention 1958. Institutional rules — ICC, LCIA — or the UNCITRAL framework supply the procedure; the seat's law supplies the safety net. The firm acts for Israeli and foreign parties in these proceedings, bringing regional-language capability and a practice built around disputes rather than around any single institution.
The firm plans backwards from enforcement: the award must survive the courts of the seat and bite in the country where assets sit, and every procedural decision is tested against both. The written phase carries the case — international tribunals decide predominantly on the memorials — so the record is constructed with the discipline of an appellate brief. Regional evidence in Hebrew and Arabic is handled natively, removing the translation layer where nuance goes to die.

International cases are decided on the written record; the firm's submissions are built to be the tribunal's working document.
Hebrew, Arabic and English capability with a single accountable counsel — coverage without the overhead of a global machine.
A typical engagement: an Israeli company in a supply relationship governed by foreign law faces UNCITRAL arbitration commenced by its counterparty. The firm coordinates the seat-jurisdiction requirements, runs the memorial phase, and shapes the evidence for enforcement in the respondent's home courts.

In any of the 170-plus states party to the New York Convention 1958, subject to its narrow defences. This is arbitration's decisive advantage over litigation: a court judgment travels poorly; a Convention award travels almost everywhere.
Administration. ICC and LCIA cases are managed by an institution that appoints, supervises and scrutinises; UNCITRAL rules run ad hoc, with the parties and tribunal administering themselves. Institutional oversight costs more and prevents more.
It decides which courts supervise the case, which law governs challenges to the award, and how much interference the process risks. The seat is a legal home, not a hearing venue — choosing it casually is the classic drafting error.
