I concentrate my practice on international litigation and arbitration. I regularly advise clients on the drafting of dispute resolution clauses and have served as counsel in international arbitration proceedings held under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce, the American Arbitration Association, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution and the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes. I am a frequent lecturer and author on international litigation and arbitration issues. The International Litigation and Arbitration Group of Skadden brings a vast breadth of knowledge and experience to the resolution of international disputes, including claims of expropriation and other investor/state disputes. We have appeared before every major international arbitral institution, including the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes, International Chamber of Commerce, London Court of International Arbitration, International Centre for Dispute Resolution/American Arbitration Association, Arbitration Institute of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, Singapore International Arbitration Centre, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Arbitration Foundation of South Africa and China International Economic and Trade Arbitration Commission, as well as ad hoc arbitrations under UNCITRAL and other rules. We are experienced in managing international disputes involving more than one jurisdiction or dispute resolution forum and have litigated high-profile international cases before the trial and appellate courts of the United States and England. We have assisted counsel in many other jurisdictions when local cases required a sophisticated understanding of public and private international law, and we effectively have organized and presented large evidentiary records that are today the staple of complex commercial disputes.
