Sidley Austin LLP’s international arbitration practice is comprehensive and truly global in reach, with experience in arbitral fora ranging from Washington to London to Hong Kong and Singapore.

In addition to a full international commercial arbitration practice, Sidley is particularly known for its substantial practice in the high-profile field of investor-state (investment treaty) arbitration. Sidley represents multinational companies as claimants, and sovereign governments as respondents, in disputes over government actions that allegedly injure foreign investments.

In tandem with its investor-state arbitration practice, the international arbitration team advises Sidley’s corporate clients on structuring multinational transactions to take advantage of the protections and arbitration options that investment treaties have to offer.

Sidley’s investment treaty team includes lawyers who have served in government negotiating, and overseeing negotiations of and disputes under, bilateral and multilateral investment treaties. Sidley lawyers serve as arbitrators in investor-state disputes, have been appointed by governments to serve on standing rosters of arbitrators, and have taught courses and seminars in investment treaty arbitration.
