Squire Patton Boggs

Squire Patton Boggs boasts excellence across commercial, investment-treaty, and public international law arbitrations. The practice recently achieved a victory for Ecuador in a complex investment treaty arbitration, defeating a $120 million claim, in a matter with significant consequences for investor-state arbitrations. The firm is particularly adept at handling energy disputes, often acting on leading matters that attract international media attention. A number of governments rely on the expertise of the team, including the Republics of Kosovo, Croatia, and Iraq, among others. Cleveland based George von Mehran leads the team recognised for its ‘exceptional expertise, professionalism, and dedication to client success’ along with Stephen Anway, who splits his time between New York and Washington DC. In New York, Ali Gursel represents States and State agencies in global investment arbitrations, while Luka Mišetić has extensive experience handling matters before ICSID, and the International Court of Justice. Carlos Guzmán Plascencia is skilled at handling disputes with a focus on construction, infrastructure, and telecoms.
