• • Hess in its landmark victory against ExxonMobil and CNOOC, in one of the most significant arbitrations in recent years.

  • A sports governing body in response to a cybersecurity incident, including associated global regulatory response.
  • The Republic of Iraq against claims brought by Orange S.A. in an ICSID arbitration under the France-Iraq BIT arising out of a dispute concerning the telecommunications sector.
