“High profile” practices in International Arbitration and Public International Law
In once again naming Three Crowns a leader in International Arbitration, The Legal 500 underscored the firm’s “sizeable volume of high-profile arbitration work” across a variety of sectors, including energy, oil and gas, construction, technology, maritime, and infrastructure.
Three Crowns’ “extensive caseload is particularly diverse” and “spans a wide geographic footprint,” with expertise in commercial, investor-State, post-M&A, and taxation disputes. As one client noted, the firm has a “very integrated and efficient team with a unique ability to deep-dive into highly complex technical issues and turn them into a compelling and elegantly drafted story.”
Additionally, Three Crowns is recognized with a top ranking in Public International Law. The firm is often “retained to act in major inter-state disputes including arguing cases before the International Court of Justice.”
“Three Crowns’ top ranking for Public International Law is recognition for a strong team, combining depth of knowledge, procedural savvy, sophisticated advocacy, and understanding of political and economic realities,” notes founding partner Petrochilos. “We have a wealth of experience across our offices, and an outstanding track-record.”
