Beyond its expertise in oil and gas/energy industry cases, the firm has substantial experience in construction, healthcare, and mass tort and product liability litigation. The firm also fields a strong arbitration team that punches far above its weight class, representing international and U.S.-based clients in matters ranging from complex international disputes to domestic disputes arbitrated under specialized rules.
