About

Provided by WilmerHale

Our international arbitration group has been involved in more than 650 proceedings in recent years. We have successfully represented clients in a number of the largest institutional arbitrations and several of the most significant ad hoc arbitrations to arise in the past decade. We pride ourselves on consistently achieving our clients’ objectives through efficient staffing and the use of in-house know-how and precedents.

 Our multinational team consists of more than 70 lawyers in the United States and Europe, all of whom practice principally in the international arbitration field. Centered in the London office, the practice has additional team members in New York, Washington, Beijing, Palo Alto, Frankfurt and Berlin. Many members of our team are dedicated entirely to international arbitration, with a number of lawyers offering experience in particular fields (such as oil and gas, insurance, joint venture and M&A). Our counsel and associates include highly talented younger lawyers with specific training. Lawyers in our various offices routinely work closely together on disputes, as well as with local counsel when appropriate. Our international arbitration group includes both common and civil law practitioners, and prides itself on working together as an integrated team.
