The Geneva office serves as the headquarters for the firm’s prominent international litigation and arbitration practice for Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Lawyers in our Geneva office have extensive experience in the prosecution and defense of major claims brought in international arbitrations governed by the rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), the International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID), the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), the Swiss Rules of International Arbitration, various chambers of commerce, and other international arbitral fora. Our lawyers also handle international civil litigation matters before U.S., Swiss, and international courts and institutions.

With the Geneva office providing ready access to the nearby headquarters of the World Trade Organization (WTO), lawyers in our Geneva office work closely with colleagues in the firm’s Washington, D.C. and Brussels offices to represent clients on matters arising out of the increasing regulation of international trade in goods and services.
