The international arbitration practice at Baker McKenzie is well-known for its capabilities in handling complex commercial and IP arbitrations, with a particular focus on Mainland China-related disputes and working closely with the firm’s joint operation with FenXun in Greater China. The practice is spearheaded by Gary Seib, with his experience in commercial disputes particularly sought after by major industrials, transportation and TMT clients. Philipp Hanusch is another significant presence and brings extensive technical expertise in arbitrations under various rules including HKIAC, ICC, CIETAC and UNCITRAL. The team was also bolstered by the addition of Ronald Sum from Addleshaw Goddard in September 2022.
