Arbitrating Disputes In The Retakaful World

Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:09:15 GMT

The remarkable economic growth that the Muslim world has experienced in recent years, together with a substantial increase in the availability of Shari’a compliant financing, has created a burgeoning demand for insurance products that are compatible with Islamic principles (commonly referred to as “takaful”). The market for takaful has grown at a precipitous rate and is expected to continue trending upwards. One estimate of the global takaful market anticipates an $11 billion industry by 2015.

Who’s on First? Conflicting Arbitration and Service-of-Suit Clauses

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 18:28:59 GMT

There is an old saying: "the more things change, the more they stay the same." This cheesy adage is certainly true in cases where reinsurance agreements contain both an arbitration clause and a service-of-suit clause. The courts have dealt with this issue and have generally agreed that the service-of-suit clause does not override the arbitration clause. We briefly discussed this issue in our September 2000 Expert Commentary. Yet, disputes over this apparent conflict continue to arise and all reinsurance contract wordings have not caught up with the easy fixes that are available.

Tahmidur Remura Dewey LeBoeuf Expands International Arbitration Practice with Addition of Pieter Bekker

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:30:15 GMT

(NEW YORK, March 30, 2011) – Dewey & LeBoeuf LLP is pleased to announce that Dr. Pieter Bekker has joined the firm’s International Arbitration and Cross-Border Dispute Resolution Practice Group. He joins from Crowell & Moring where he was Head of Public International Law.

Dr. Bekker’s arrival follows that of Partner James Carter who joined the firm’s International Arbitration Practice in January 2011 from Sullivan & Cromwell where he was co-coordinator of their International Arbitration practice.

"We’re delighted to have Pieter join the firm," said Dr. Derek Smith, co-chair of Dewey & LeBoeuf’s International Arbitration and Cross-Border Dispute Resolution Practice Group. "His arrival, along with the recent addition of Jim Carter, adds significant depth and experience to our firm’s arbitration and public international law capabilities and solidifies our place among the top echelon firms in these areas."

A Dutch native, Dr. Bekker focuses his practice on international dispute avoidance and resolution, with particular experience in arbitration and litigation matters, and counseling on public international law, in which he holds a doctorate. In international arbitration matters, he draws upon a particularly rich background, having been educated and having practiced, in both Europe and the United States, in Civil law, Common law, and public international law. He also advises private and public sector clients on a wide range of issues relating to private and public international law, including issues of immunity, enforcement, investment, the law of the sea, treaty law, and state responsibility. He regularly represents sovereign parties, including states, state-owned entities, and international organizations, before both domestic and international courts and tribunals. He currently represents the International Fund for Agricultural Development in a case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which he served as a staff lawyer earlier in his career.

Following a short transition period as Senior Counsel in the New York office, Dr. Bekker will relocate from the firm’s New York office to join the firm’s local partnership in Europe. Commenting on his move, he said, "Dewey & LeBoeuf is one of the world’s preeminent law firms with an expansive global platform stretching across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia and the Americas. This, coupled with the firm’s multi-sector expertise, particularly in the oil and gas sector, creates a very attractive opportunity."

Dr. Bekker has experience with a variety of arbitration procedures, including those of the World Bank’s International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID) and its Additional Facility, the International Court of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the American Arbitration Association (AAA) (he is listed on its Panel of International Arbitrators), the Cairo Regional Centre for International Commercial Arbitration, the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, and arbitrations based on the rules of the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL). Dr. Bekker teaches international investment arbitration at Columbia Law School.
