The London and Paris teams also act on both the investor and state sides of BIT and ECT cases. Its further teams in Italy and Spain handle high-value cases seated either locally or in other European jurisdictions. Hogan Lovells enjoys particularly strong recognition in the energy, financial services and telecommunications sectors. The firm rounds off its offering with its prowess in annulment proceedings.
