Lalive

Lalive was probably the first law firm known as a place you took your large international commercial arbitration. The firm grew from the prominence of professor Pierre Lalive in the 1970s and 1980s. Today he is the "grand old man of Swiss arbitration" and "the pioneer". Dealing in Virtue, a book about the history of private justice, says Lalive's career "defined stature" for his generation. (Jan Paullsson, for example, is described as the Lalive equivalent in his generation.) At the height of his career as an advocate and counsel, and later arbitrator, Lalive was at the centre of many arbitrations from the "classic" period, including Sapphire v Iran, Texaco v Libya and Aminoil v Kuwait. With Michael Schneider, he was counsel in the first-ever arbitration heard at the ICSID centre. He also chaired the first ICSID annulment panel.
