Overview
(May 31, 2022, Washington, DC) — For the sixth consecutive year, Steptoe has been recognized by Global Arbitration Review (GAR) on the GAR 100. Now in its 15th 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 covers practices that have regularly worked on international arbitration matters before credible arbitrators, irrespective of size or location—all audited by GAR.
The profile of Steptoe’s international arbitration practice highlights some of the group’s recent achievements, which include: counseling the European Union in an $8 billion claim brought by the operator of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline; pursuing a new North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) claim against Canada over the cancellation of an emissions trading program; and helping Armenia defeat a $15 million claim brought before the International Centre for Settlement of Investment Disputes (ICSID).
The profile also touches on the January 2022 partnership promotion of Thomas Innes in London, and June 2021 arrivals of partners Juliya Arbisman and Robby Mockler. Arbisman splits her time between London and Washington, while Mockler splits his time between Los Angeles and New York.
