"The firm has a deep bench of talent in its international arbitration practice. The team is very talented and really works the coal face of a case."

Alston & Bird acted for Construtora in an LCIA claim against Trinidad and Tobago's national infrastructure company, in a dispute over the construction of a highway.

Alexander Yanos is praised by clients for his expert handling of investor-state arbitrations and commercial disputes. He is also capable of handling enforcement mandates.
