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 the firm's offices throughout the region and around the world. The Republic of Korea and BG Exploration and Production are notable clients. On 1st May 2024, Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling merged to form A&O Shearman.
