Debevoise & Plimpton LLP919 Third Avenue David W Rivkin Donald Francis Donovan Catherine M Amirfar |
For over three decades Debevoise & Plimpton LLP has maintained one of the world's foremost practices in international arbitration and litigation. Our international dispute resolution group comprises multinational and multilingual lawyers who are trained under many different common law and civil law systems. We act as counsel to both claimants and defendants before every major arbitration institution and under every set of rules in the world. Our cases have involved claims for and against sovereigns, long-term energy concessions, bilateral investment treaty (BIT) disputes (where we won two of the four largest arbitration awards for cases involving claims of breach of BITs), power and energy disputes, construction and engineering projects, power plants, international manufacturing and supply disputes, distribution agreements, joint venture agreements, insurance and reinsurance matters, political risk disputes, tax and intellectual property disputes. A significant percentage of our cases involves Latin America. In recognition of the firm's depth and capabilities, in June 2006 Debevoise partners Donald Francis Donovan and David W Rivkin were jointly awarded the first Chambers USA Award for Excellence in International Arbitration. |
