Practice
I act for investors and with law firms that need investment-treaty depth on a dispute. The work runs from structuring an investment for treaty protection, through the arbitration itself, to collecting on the award.
Areas
Investor-State Dispute Settlement
Treaty claims against host States, from treaty planning and the notice of dispute through hearings, award and annulment. ICSID, UNCITRAL, SCC, LCIA and ICC.
International Commercial Arbitration
Cross-border contract, joint venture and shareholder disputes, including matters involving States and state-owned entities.
Where to start
For Investors
You are weighing whether a treaty claim exists, what it would cost, and what has to be decided now.
For Law Firms & Co-Counsel
A commercial dispute has developed a cross-border or an investment-treaty dimension, and you need depth on it without giving up the client relationship.
Eurasia & Emerging Markets Desk
The CIS bilateral investment treaty network, the Energy Charter Treaty in Central Asia, and the practical realities of enforcement in the region.
