Instructing Experts
In international arbitration, where gains and losses can be significant, having the best experts on your side is a must. However, to be effective, these experts have to be properly instructed.
Antuña has successfully instructed quantum, regulatory, and technical experts in more than 40 Investor-State arbitrations.
Cross-Examination
Cross-examination is a typical element of common-law jurisdictions. In international arbitration, it is probably the core of every hearing, and many times the deciding factor when resolving a dispute.
That is why cross-examinations are reserved for the most experienced lawyers of each party.
Antuña has fifteen years of experience in examining experts. Moreover, in Investor-State arbitration, in the last five years alone, he set a world record of 42 cross-examinations (28 quantum experts, seven regulatory experts and seven witnesses).
Co-Counsel
In international arbitration, stakes are high, and counting with the best of the best in every field and with complementary teams is a priority. That is why co-counseling between several top law firms for each side is commonplace.
