Domestic and International Arbitration.

We represent clients in complex domestic arbitrations under the rules of leading institutions and in ad hoc proceedings. Our approach is grounded in the realities of U.S. arbitration practice—from the selection of the tribunal to the development of the evidentiary record and the presentation of the case at hearing.

We approach arbitration with the same discipline we bring to litigation. That includes strategic motion practice where appropriate, careful management of discovery, and a focus on building a record that will withstand scrutiny in any subsequent enforcement or vacatur proceeding.

We act in cross-border disputes involving parties, assets, and governing law across multiple jurisdictions. Our experience includes proceedings administered by major international institutions as well as ad hoc arbitrations, often running in parallel with court proceedings in the United States and abroad.

International arbitration requires coordination across legal systems and a clear understanding of how procedural decisions in one forum affect outcomes in another. We work closely with foreign counsel where appropriate, while maintaining control over overall strategy, the presentation of evidence, and the management of complex, multi-jurisdictional issues.

Discovery in international arbitration involving U.S. parties and evidence presents unique challenges. U.S. law no longer provides the same broad discovery tools available in court litigation, particularly for third-party evidence. We help clients navigate this landscape strategically.

Our work includes coordinating targeted evidence collection from U.S.-based witnesses, structuring arbitral subpoenas in compliance with applicable law, and, where appropriate, leveraging parallel U.S. proceedings to obtain relevant materials. We also advise on document production, privilege, and cross-border data issues, ensuring that evidence is developed efficiently and positioned effectively for use before arbitral tribunals.

We represent clients in the recognition and enforcement of arbitral awards and related judgments in the United States and abroad. This includes proceedings under the New York Convention, as well as parallel efforts to enforce or resist enforcement across multiple jurisdictions.

Enforcement is not a mechanical process. It requires a clear strategy, particularly where assets are dispersed or counterparties take steps to delay or evade collection. We advise on structuring enforcement efforts, coordinating with foreign proceedings, and pursuing ancillary remedies where necessary to secure recovery.
