Paris, London, Milan: a practice bridging legal cultures.
After practising arbitration in Paris and London, Laurent Gouiffès founded Gouiffès Arbitration in 2025. He lectures on arbitration at Panthéon-Sorbonne and Sciences Po Paris and speaks on issues of public and private international law.
Admitted to the Paris Bar in 1998 and a solicitor in England and Wales since 2005, Laurent Gouiffès practises at the intersection of French and European law and common law systems. His arbitrator appointments in Italy extend this international practice.
Commercial and investment arbitration at the heart of the practice.
Pre-dispute work, international commercial arbitration, investment arbitration and post-arbitration litigation
In both commercial and investment treaty arbitration, Laurent Gouiffès serves in two roles: as sole arbitrator, presiding arbitrator or a party-appointed co-arbitrator; and as counsel to a party.
His French legal background and experience of common law environments are particularly relevant to international counsel, including those in common law jurisdictions, considering an arbitrator appointment in a dispute involving a State.
