Arnold & Porter

Arnold & Porter’s litigation team is recognized for its ability to handle high-stakes and complex matters for both national and prominent multinational corporations, with deep experience across state, federal, and international courts. A key area of focus within the practice is investor-state disputes, complemented by its expertise in navigating intricate cases under the ATA, TVPA, AT, and FSIA. The team represents a diverse client base, including banks, energy companies, foreign sovereigns, and major medical firms like Pfizer and AstraZeneca, and is particularly noted for its robust anti-corruption capabilities, with experience in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act. Led by Washington DC-based Kenneth Chernof, who co-chairs the complex litigation practice alongside James Herschlein in New York, the team also boasts seasoned professionals such as Marcus Asner, who focuses on investigations. The team also includes experienced arbitrators Paolo Di Rosa in DC and Maria Chedid in San Francisco, who are regularly sought after for their representation of sovereign states and private sector clients in both domestic and international disputes. Monty Taylor left the practice in June 2024.
