‘I've worked with partner Clara Brillembourg in international disputes. She has an excellent understanding of non-US legal systems, languages and cultural issues. Clara is always available to discuss strategic actions in detail. Whenever needed, Clara outsourced work to senior members of her team.’
‘The Foley Hoag team has a wealth of experience in the representation of States and State owned entities. Due to their extensive experience, they are able to develop nuanced legal arguments on complex issues of law. Their teams are diverse which is critical to avoiding “group think” and results in strong arguments. The teams are collaborative with strong leaders, particularly Christina Hioureas, who brings forward the best qualities in each of her team members. She has integrity and, for that reason, is respected and trusted.
