Experience
I am an experienced international arbitration practitioner. That means I’ve acted as counsel, arbitrator, or tribunal secretary in institutional and ad hoc proceedings in a variety of sectors and industries across five continents (so far!). Matters are often what is termed “complex” in the industry and involve multiple parties and/or multiple contracts, in high-stakes or bet-the-company disputes that necessitate experienced strategic and procedural stewardship.
When the need arises, I have also represented – or coordinated the representation of – clients in litigations related to arbitration seeking or defending against court-assisted injunctive relief, enforcement and set aside.
I have also represented clients before state and federal courts in the US, and in settlement negotiations and mediations.
These matters include, inter alia:
As Counsel
As Arbitrator or Tribunal Secretary
My mandates as arbitrator or tribunal secretary have extended to:
Institutions: ICC, VIAC
Issues: trademark and licensing, product efficacy, sales, breach of contract, joint venture, simple partnership, supply chain, commercial cooperation agreement, construction
Amounts in dispute: from $1.5 million to over $100 million
