A&O Shearman has a prominent, respected and fully integrated practice, especially noted for its handling of Indian disputes and for its growing profile in the management of arbitrations linked to Australia or the Philippines. The team acts for blue-chip multinationals, state governments and state-owned entities, with key areas of expertise including investment treaty, oil and gas, and financial services disputes. The practice's ability to draw upon in-house KCs to conduct its own advocacy is seen as an invaluable advantage, as is its ready access to expertise in A&O Shearman's offices throughout the region and around the world.
Sheila Ahuja and Emmanuel Jacomy co-head the APAC international arbitration team and are key contacts.
Work Highlights
- A&O Shearman advised the Republic of Korea as the lead international counsel on a high-profile investment treaty dispute against a Chinese businessman who was imprisoned in Korea after being convicted of bribery, embezzlement and fraud.
