Overview
(July 20, 2021, Washington, DC) — For the fifth consecutive year, Steptoe has been recognized by Global Arbitration Review (GAR) on the GAR 100. Now in its 14th year, the GAR 100 is a comprehensive and independent guide of about 100 firms "approved" for international arbitration by the publication's editors. The list includes practices of all sizes from all parts of the world, which have worked regularly on "serious" international arbitration matters before credible arbitrators, all audited by GAR.
The profile of Steptoe’s international arbitration practice highlights some of the group’s recent achievements. They include securing a $55 million victory for an engineering company against Mexico’s state-owned petroleum monopoly Pemex, and obtaining $22 million for an Italian-owned entity in a claim against Tanzania over the expropriation of cattle farming land. Additionally, the group helped Moldova successfully appeal a US court’s decision to renew a default judgment granted 20 years ago to enforce an arbitral debt worth $32 million.
The profile also touches on the June 2021 arrivals of partners Leigh Mallon, Juliya Arbisman and Robby Mockler. Arbisman splits her time between London and Washington, while Mockler splits his time between Los Angeles and New York. Mallon is based in London, where Christophe Bondy joined in 2020.
