Norton Rose Fulbright US LLP

Norton Rose Fulbright has a leading international arbitration practice, with extensive experience in ICSID and UNCITRAL arbitrations, often acting on high-profile international law matters. The practice is split evenly between international commercial arbitrations and investment treaty arbitrations, and has acted on a number of massive collateral enforcement matters involving foreign sovereigns. Houston-based Kevin O’Gorman heads the US arbitration team, with experience handling cases under all major arbitral rules, and specific experience in commercial, energy, and sovereign disputes. In Washington DC, Matthew Kirtland has extensive experience representing clients from a broad range of business sectors, with complementary experience in enforcement-related litigation, while in Houston, Denton Nichols is key to the team, recently acting on a high-value claim against an international major in an ICDR arbitration. The practice continues to expand, with the arrival of Courtney Hikawa in Washington DC from Sidley Austin LLP and Timothy Tyler from Vinson & Elkins LLP in Houston.
