Rachel Thorn
Cooley LLPContinued global growth in technology-related arbitration, including investment cases, is positioning Cooley LLP as an increasingly prominent name in the international arbitration field. That being said, the team’s industry experience extends beyond the firm’s signature sweet spots of technology and life sciences to encompass mining and financial services, among other matters. Over the past year, New York-based department head Rachel Thorn notched up key roles in a string of high-profile cases, including representing Odyssey Marine Exploration in an ICSID arbitration brought under Chapter 11 of the NAFTA against Mexico. Marc Suskin, also in New York, has recently handled arbitrations for many of the world’s leading tech companies.
