ABOUT PETER&KIM
Established in 2020, Peter & Kim is a leading international arbitration firm ranked amongst the 30 best arbitration practices world-wide. We bring together dedicated international arbitration practitioners from different civil and common law cultures, based in Switzerland, South Korea, Australia and Singapore. We are a highly experienced and achieved team of lawyers with a proven track record of successfully representing clients across the globe. Our attorneys are industry leaders in international dispute resolution, not just regionally but also globally. Our work focuses on representing corporate, sovereign and private clients in complex international disputes before arbitral tribunals and state courts. We advise and represent parties in a wide range of contractual disputes, as well as disputes arising from foreign direct investments (under bilateral and multilateral investment treaties) and public international law. We also have expertise challenging or confirming international arbitration awards in multiple jurisdictions, but particularly in proceedings before the Swiss Federal Tribunal (Supreme Court) and at all levels of the Korean court system.
In serving our clients, we rely on our decades of collective experience as counsel and arbitrator in hundreds of cases, as well as specialist knowledge having worked in leading arbitral institutions. We combine the capabilities of our global network of offices to provide best-in-class services to our clients wherever they require. The firm’s unique structure and its specialist practice allow us to offer our clients high quality representation throughout all stages of a dispute, from the assessment of potential liability and pre-arbitration negotiations, dealing with interim measures of protection, through to the preparation of written submissions and the conduct of the hearing, as well as any post-award challenges and asset recovery.
Flavio primarily acts as party representative in disputes arising under construction contracts, international sales contracts, disputes concerning long term gas supply contracts, but also agency and distribution agreements, joint venture contracts, and post-M&A disputes. Flavio regularly also sits as chairman, sole arbitrator or co-arbitrator and has gained vast experience as administrative secretary to arbitral tribunals in several international and domestic arbitration proceedings (conducted in accordance with the ICC Arbitration and ADR Rules, Swiss Rules, UNCITRAL Arbitration Rules, VIAC Rules, DIS Rules as well as in ad hoc proceedings).
During his professional experience Flavio has acted in more than 45 arbitrations under a variety of substantive laws, including in particular the laws of Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Italy, Turkey, Sweden, the US (e.g., Delaware and California) or England and Wales, and of course the CISG.
Flavio is a member of the Swiss Arbitration Marketing Committee and co-chair of ASAbelow40. He holds a teaching assignment with the University of Zurich (for international arbitration and CISG) and is a Fellow of the CIArb.
He often represents clients from the CIS region and the Middle East and has significant experience with arbitrations in the Asia-Pacific region, seated in Singapore, Seoul, and Tokyo. Konstantin Christie also served as tribunal secretary in a number of “bet the company” arbitrations under the rules of most leading arbitral institutions (including ICC, SCAI, LCIA, SIAC, ICSID and UNCITRAL) and brings this experience to his appointments and counsel cases.
