International Legal Consultancy
Strategic legal representation where the stakes are highest. Commercial disputes, criminal proceedings, asset freezes and regulatory enforcement across international borders and in multiple jurisdictions.
The Firm
Stradalex was built on a single principle: advocacy that does not equivocate. Every matter we take is one we are prepared to see through.
Practice Areas
Stradalex represents claimants and respondents in international arbitration across both investment treaty and commercial contexts — from the drafting of arbitration agreements and seat selection through to post-award enforcement across multiple jurisdictions.
Investor-State Arbitration (ICSID). We act for investors in expropriation and treaty-breach claims before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. Our caseload includes direct and indirect expropriation claims under bilateral investment treaties, fair and equitable treatment violations, and denial of justice claims arising from regulatory conduct by host states across Africa, Eastern Europe, and the CIS. We are experienced in ICSID's procedural framework — from requests for arbitration and jurisdictional objections through to annulment proceedings before ad hoc committees.
Commercial Arbitration — ICC & Luxembourg. We conduct complex commercial arbitrations under ICC Rules and before the Luxembourg Arbitration Centre, acting for corporates, financial institutions, and high-net-worth individuals in disputes involving joint ventures, M&A transactions, construction and infrastructure projects, and long-term commercial agreements. Our practice is dual-tradition: we draft and argue in both common law and civil law frameworks, and we conduct proceedings in English, French, and Arabic.
Full details →Full criminal defence across jurisdictions — extradition, sentencing, and appeals. A core specialism is INTERPOL notice deletion: challenging Red Notices and diffusions before the CCF, securing deletion, correction, or temporary blocking of unlawful entries. We act for individuals targeted by abusive or politically motivated notices worldwide.
Full details →Strategic counsel on international sanctions exposure across OFAC, the UN Security Council, and the Council of the European Union. Delisting applications, requests for reconsideration, licensing strategy, and compliance programme design for individuals, corporates, and financial institutions navigating complex multi-jurisdictional sanctions frameworks.
Our team has secured the removal of clients from the SDN list under OFAC's Russia-related EO-14024 programme, argued annulment proceedings before the General Court of the EU, and submitted de-listing petitions through the UN Focal Point and Ombudsperson mechanisms.
Full details →Targeted legal challenges to erroneous or damaging entries on financial intelligence databases, including WorldCheck™ and WorldCompliance™. We identify the source of adverse data, dispute its accuracy and proportionality, and pursue removal or correction through formal legal channels — protecting clients' access to banking, finance, and commercial counterparties.
Full details →An Article 24 alert in the Schengen Information System can close the entire Schengen area overnight — at a border crossing, without any prior notification of the underlying decision. We challenge unlawful SIS alerts before the issuing Member State's competent authority, national data protection supervisory authorities, and the courts.
