Marc Goldstein established this law practice in 2007, after 25 years in large firm litigation and arbitration practice in New York. He was leader of the international arbitration practice in two major New York law firms. Marc is an independent arbitrator, a mediator of complex commercial disputes, and a litigator and trial lawyer before courts and arbitral tribunals. Marc also provides counsel assistance in foreign litigations where U.S. substantive law is applicable. In large cases requiring a team approach, he acts as lead counsel and engages prominent firms in the appropriate jurisdictions as co-counsel to furnish professional and technical support.

Marc has acted as Sole Arbitrator, Chairman, and party-appointed arbitrator. He has been appointed in international and domestic cases.   Marc is one of very few experienced international arbitration lawyers in New York who, well before the customary retirement age for judges and partners in large New York law firms,  has made himself available on a regular basis for service as an arbitrator and mediator.  Marc began work in international arbitration as counsel for a U.S. Claimant before the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal in the 1980s, and since that time has handled more than two dozen major international arbitrations and many more U.S. litigations  relating to international arbitration including award enforcement proceedings and interim measures applications.  Throughout his career, Marc has also litigated complex corporate cases before state and federal courts in the United States, with a particular concentration of cases in securities, antitrust, banking and finance, commercial transactions, real estate, intellectual property, corporate restructuring, shareholder disputes, officer and director liability, and employment law.

Marc is a member of the American Law Institute, a Fellow of the College of Commercial Arbitrators, and a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators and member of the Executive Committee of the Chartered Institute’s New York Chapter.  In 1993 the Chartered Institute awarded Marc its President’s Prize for excellence in the award-writing examination by which he first qualified for the Fellowship.  Marc has been named to Best Lawyers In America, for international arbitration practice, in each year of the existence of this firm.  Since 2001 he has been named annually in the Legal Media Group Expert Guide, for international arbitration practice.

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