Partner, Chair of Disputes & Arbitration
International arbitration in energy and infrastructure, and the enforcement work that follows an award.
Theodore Achebe leads the firm's disputes practice from London. He appears as advocate in institutional and ad hoc arbitrations, most often in energy, mining, and large infrastructure, and has acted in matters seated in eleven jurisdictions.
He is unusually interested in what happens after an award is issued — a phase that clients rarely budget for and that frequently determines whether the award is worth anything. A significant part of his practice is enforcement and asset tracing against counterparties who did not expect to lose.
He joined Marlowe & Sterling in 2006 from the bar, and has chaired the practice since 2020. He sits as arbitrator in matters unrelated to the firm's clients, which he describes as the only reliable way to learn how a tribunal actually reads a submission.
