The international litigation and arbitration group of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and affiliates (Skadden) brings a vast breadth of knowledge and experience to the resolution of international disputes. Our lawyers have appeared before every major international arbitral institution, including the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), International Centre for Dispute Resolution/American Arbitration Association (ICDR/AAA) and Inter-American Convention on International Commercial Arbitration (IACAC), as well as ad hoc arbitrations under UNCITRAL and other rules.

We are experienced in managing multi-jurisdictional disputes and have litigated high-profile international cases before the trial and appellate courts of the United States and England. We have represented individuals and companies in industries as varied as power and energy, metals and mining, oil and gas, construction, manufacturing, telecommunications, banking, auditing and securities.

We have handled arbitrations involving issues and parties from across the Americas, in a variety of regional venues. As part of Skadden’s broad Latin American practice, we have advised clients in complex commercial disputes throughout North, South and Central America, as well as the Caribbean. We also advise clients on expropriation and investment protection issues under free trade agreements (FTAs) and bilateral investment treaties (BITs), and have represented investors in ICSID arbitration proceedings against the governments of Argentina and Venezuela.

The members of our International Litigation and Arbitration Group can share with our clients a wealth of personal experience and a wide range of national backgrounds. Members of our practice have been featured in Chambers Global: The World’s Leading Lawyers for Business (international arbitration); Euromoney’s Guide to the World’s Leading Experts in International Arbitration; Best Lawyers in America and The International Who’s Who of Commercial Arbitrators.

Many of our attorneys are bilingual or have practiced litigation and arbitration in more than one country or legal system. All are familiar with the complexities of public and private international law that bear on arbitration and cross-border disputes. Leveraging the depth and international coverage of Skadden’s more than 2,000 attorneys in 25 offices worldwide, we offer clients an unrivaled advantage in planning for and resolving international disputes.
