The representation of banking subsidiaries in international commodities and investor-state arbitrations is an area in which the practice is notably busy. Praised as a ‘stand-out partner’, Matthew Biben employs experience as a former federal prosecutor to act on derivative suits and federal investigations, and Craig Carpenito has acted on internal and governmental investigations. Jamie Dycus handles civil, class action and antitrust litigation, and David Lesser has a broad litigation practice advising large US and multinational banks.
