Established in 1963, the office focuses primarily on disputes. It is notable for excellence in its core practice of international arbitration, as well as its litigation before federal courts and sanctions (OFAC) work.
The arbitration team is well known for its success in international investment treaty arbitration as well as commercial arbitration. The team includes former ICSID counsel, professors of international law and attorneys who are active and contributing to thought leadership in this area of law. They work across the full spectrum of representation, from drafting arbitration clauses, through representing clients before arbitral tribunals and court proceedings relating to provisional remedies as well as recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards under all major arbitration rules.
Our firm's Washington-based litigators have broad civil and criminal litigation experience representing both U.S. and foreign clients in government investigations, in litigated matters before state and federal courts and regulatory authorities, and in domestic and international arbitration proceedings. The team has particular experience in OFAC within the U.S. and compliance areas such as anti-money-laundering internationally.
