International Commercial Arbitration

Our arbitration group comprises globally-recognized leaders with a track record of winning high-value, complex, and often politically sensitive cases.

We represent companies, sovereign entities, and high-net-worth individuals in high-stakes arbitrations across a large number of sectors including e.g., energy, mining, infrastructure, life sciences, banking, and tech.

Our cases span every major arbitral institution and rule-set: ICC, LCIA, ICSID, UNCITRAL, SIAC, AAA/ICDR, Swiss Chambers, DIAC among others.

In addition to acting in arbitration proceedings, we are frequently instructed in litigation that intersects with arbitration. Our lawyers have appeared before U.S. federal and state courts in matters involving enforcement and annulment of arbitral awards; and emergency relief, including asset freezes and anti-suit injunctions
