A brilliant team … bound together by an ethos of hard work and quality.

Debevoise & Plimpton are excellent. They think strategically with a forward-looking perspective.

The best of the best.

Debevoise are an exceptionally talented group … the written and oral advocacy is of top quality.

Chambers Global, 2022-2024


They are the best international arbitration team in the world. Partners have outstanding advocacy skills due to their unparalleled experience, but senior associates are also arbitration superstars and can handle very sophisticated matters seamlessly.

They are leaders in the arbitration world and active across many jurisdictions and types of cases and that translates to commercial awareness.

They’re one of the strongest outfits in the field.

They set the standard. They just do exceptional work; it’s very complex and very detailed.

Chambers USA, 2020-2023


It is rare if not unheard of to have a team with no weak link but I can attest to the [Debevoise] team to having earned this reputation.

Debevoise’s international arbitration team is top notch. Strategic thinking and delivery of superb work product are their top qualities. When you go for Debevoise, you do not hire an arbitration star, you hire a star team.

They are just a cut above everybody I have seen.
