Eversheds Sutherland

Eversheds Sutherland advises leading multinationals, high-profile individuals, and start-ups in arbitrations before all major international arbitral institutions. The team has over two decades of expertise in section 1782 matters, and is skilled at enforcing foreign court judgments against sovereigns and sovereign owned entities. In New York Meriam Nazih Al-Rashid leads the team, with a focus on public international law, especially issues linked to human rights, international investment and commercial arbitration, and foreign investor risk management. For one client, Al-Rashid is ‘equally technically and personally impressive’. William O’Brien, based in Washington DC, acts as head of international commercial arbitration, and is ’astute, tireless, and has complete command of the facts and the evidence’, while John Lomas, in the same office, is adept at handling matters linked to sovereign immunity, and the enforcement or arbitration agreements by non-signatories. Also of note are New York-based Ulyana Bardyn and Levon Golendukhin.
