ICSID Arbitration · Washington D.C.
"They understood the treaty architecture before our own government had retained local counsel. That margin — those weeks — determined the outcome."
— General Counsel, State Energy Corporation
A Central Asian state-owned hydrocarbon enterprise faced a $2.1 billion investor-state claim under a bilateral investment treaty following regulatory changes to a production-sharing agreement. The claimant — a European integrated oil major — argued expropriation and denial of fair and equitable treatment.
Claim value: USD 2.1 billion · Outcome: Award in respondent's favour on all substantive grounds
ICC Arbitration · Paris
"Every procedural motion they filed was also a substantive argument. There was no wasted paper."
— Deputy General Counsel, Infrastructure Consortium
A multinational joint venture consortium in Southeast Asia pursued claims arising from a suspended infrastructure concession. The dispute involved eight co-claimants across four jurisdictions, FIDIC Silver Book conditions, and a host-state force majeure defence asserted six months into proceedings.
Dispute value: USD 780 million · Outcome: Majority award on contract claims; force majeure rejected
LCIA Arbitration · London
"When the other side filed their jurisdictional objection, Tribunal had already anticipated every ground. The rebuttal was already written."
— Chief Legal Officer, Sovereign Wealth Fund
A Gulf sovereign wealth fund's strategic investment in a European media group became the subject of a shareholder dispute and parallel regulatory proceeding. The counterparty sought to bifurcate proceedings and challenge the seat. Tribunal maintained jurisdiction and consolidated the arbitration over sustained opposition.
Dispute value: USD 1.4 billion · Outcome: Jurisdiction upheld; consolidated award in client's favour
UNCITRAL Arbitration · Singapore
"The witnesses were prepared to a standard I had not previously seen in twenty years of complex litigation."
— General Counsel, EPC Contractor
A Tier 1 engineering and construction contractor faced a delay and disruption claim in excess of $300 million on a liquefied natural gas terminal project in South Asia. The claim required forensic scheduling analysis across 4,200 activities, expert evidence on prolongation costs, and cross-examination of fourteen lay witnesses over three hearing weeks.
Counterclaim value: USD 340 million · Outcome: Net award in contractor's favour
