United States > Dispute resolution > International arbitration
(Next Generation Partners)Widely regarded as a go-to practice for investor-state arbitration, White & Case LLP leverages its global network and premier public international law expertise to excel in representing both investors and nation states in complex cases. The team, which also shines in commercial arbitration, is well versed in all major institutional rules, as well as regional and ad hoc cases. Spread between five US offices, the sizeable group additionally draws on arbitration specialists in the firm’s international offices–including in key arbitration centers such as London, Paris, Geneva and Singapore–to bring to bear comprehensive jurisdictional and sectoral coverage. Washington DC-based global department head Abby Cohen Smutny frequently secures high-profile mandates from both respondents and claimants in investor-state arbitrations. Most recently, Cohen Smutny was part of the cross-office team that represented Gabriel Resources in an ICSID arbitration against Romania concerning the de facto expropriation of Gabriel’s rights in the Roşia Montană gold mining project. Washington DC-based Carolyn Lamm heads the international arbitration practice for the Americas and teamed up with Hansel Pham and Kristen Young, both also in DC, to represent the Republic of Uzbekistan in an ICSID arbitration brought under the Turkey-Uzbekistan BIT. In New York, pre-eminent specialist Paul Friedland is sought after for his first-class commercial and investor-state arbitration expertise. Ank Santens, who heads the America’s disputes section, is also noted in New York. The firm additionally fields a talented band of next-generation arbitration partners, including Damien Nyer and Brody Greenwald. Jonathan Hamilton departed the practice in March 2024.
