Squire Patton Boggs' ‘truly international public international law team’ regularly acts in high-stakes cases before the ICJ, the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (ITLOS), the International Criminal Court, and the Kosovo Specialist Chambers. The practice was notably bolstered through the April 2023 recruitment of investor-state arbitration and public international law specialist Naomi Briercliffe from A&O Shearman. The London group also fields Timi Balogun, who represents African governments and state entities in investment treaty disputes.
