Experience

• • Hess in its landmark victory against ExxonMobil and CNOOC, in one of the most significant arbitrations in recent years. The victory was a major success for Hess, and also cleared the final hurdle to one of the largest and most geopolitically significant M&A transactions in the energy sector in decades, namely Chevron’s $53 billion acquisition of Hess – a transformative deal that reshapes the global energy landscape.
  • Banco Safra, one of the largest private banks in the Brazil, and holding companies within the Safra family’s multi-billion-dollar financial services group, in five consolidated LCIA arbitrations and related proceedings in New York, Gibraltar, Brazil and Switzerland against Alberto Safra. The disputes concerned Alberto Safra’s challenge to family shareholdings as well as governance decisions related to the companies. The parties reached a global settlement of all disputes.
