As legal counsel to a major international energy company, the firm played a pivotal role in enabling the client to conduct oil exploration operations in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan under its concession rights. We delivered comprehensive representation, strategic guidance and international arbitration support in a high-stakes, cross-border dispute involving claims before an arbitral tribunal seated in the United States.

Our Responsibilities

• Legal affairs management: managed the client’s overall legal matters and represented it in all issues related to the concession agreement for oil exploration in Jordan.

• Arbitration oversight: monitored arbitration proceedings in which the client was a party, while supervising the performance of international attorneys engaged in the case.

• Tribunal advisory: provided legal advice and background materials to the arbitral tribunal adjudicating the client’s compensation claim in the United States.

• Contract administration: organised the client’s contracts, supervised their execution, and took all necessary measures for follow-up and enforcement.

Cross-border disputes require clarity, precision, and international legal understanding.
