Thank you for visiting here. March 1, 2010 is the third anniversary of this law practice, which I established, as a mid-career initiative, after 25 years in large-firm practice in New York. Many of you will have already visited my companion site, Arbitration Commentaries. Launched one year ago, Arbitration Commentaries now attracts nearly 1,000 visits per month (according to Google Analytics).

This is a litigation advocacy and counsel practice, handling complex cases in courts and arbitral tribunals, and giving assistance on U.S. substantive law where it applies in foreign litigations. In large cases requiring teams of lawyers, I am supported by the resources of my global professional network. I have spent my career handling high-value international arbitrations and litigations, and this remains a major component of my practice.

I also accept, and actively seek, appointments as an arbitrator, and as a mediator, in international and domestic cases.  Many of my peers in the arbitration community have effectively retired from careers as advocates to be full-time arbitrators and mediators. I have not taken that step. However, I am committed to an active and growing practice as an arbitrator and mediator.

I am on the arbitrator rosters of the International Centre for Dispute Resolution, AAA Large and Complex Case Panel,  CPR Distinguished Panels of Neutrals (International, Banking, Accounting and Financial Services, Securities), ICC, World Intellectual Property Organization, Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre, Singapore International Arbitration Centre, and Chicago International Dispute Resolution Association. 

In 2009 I was elected a Fellow of the College of Commercial Arbitrators, and a Member of the American Law Institute. I have been named to Best Lawyers in America, for international arbitration practice, in each year of the existence of this firm.

I aspire for this to be a very special "solo" law practice, and hope that you will find it to be that. I look forward to having the opportunity to work with you.
