Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP‘s international arbitration practice is ’incredibly valuable’, with expertise acting on high-profile, complex disputes that span jurisdictions. The practice acts on headline-grabbing arbitrations, including a series of victories for Crystallex in high-value arbitrations against Venezuela, and ICSID arbitration against Morocco linked to a multi-billion dollar investment in African oil refineries. Team head Rahim Moloo is based in New York, with extensive knowledge of investor-state arbitrations, while Lindsey Schmidt in the same office acts on disputes linked to mining, steel, insurance, and financial services. Moloo acts on novel cases, including one of the first legacy NAFTA claims brought against Mexico. Also in New York, Robert Weigel and Charline Yim are noted. Based in Washington DC, Matthew McGill is key to the practice, representing clients in public enforcement matters against governments.
