Recent disputes involved the mining, private equity, sports, energy, manufacturing, maritime, and banking and financial services sectors. Michael Stepek has longstanding international commercial and investment treaty arbitration experience; Matthew Bate routinely acts under all the major institutional rules; Ben Bruton's ’analysis of issues is always spot on’; and Daniel Meagher acts in both commercial and investor-state disputes.
