Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP‘s international arbitration practice regularly advises Latin American clients on each stage of the dispute resolution process, with the capacity to handle complex commercial and investor treaty arbitrations. This is demonstrated through the firm’s successful representation of Crystallex, which had its gold mine expropriated by the Venezuelan government, in the global enforcement of its $1.4bn ICSID Additional Facility arbitration award. Rahim Moloo, practice co-chair, was lead counsel on this case and was supported by Lindsey Schmidt and Jason Myatt. Moloo regularly works with Charline Yim, who has extensive experience representing clients in investment treaty matters. Robert Weigel and Anne Champion are integral parts of the practice.
