Practice-specific highlights:
- The firm’s arbitration team secured a victory for an Arab high-net-worth individual and his family in a $250 million international arbitration seated in Geneva involving highly complex issues and non-signatories that Karim A. Youssef has world-class expertise in. The case also involved complex issues of governing law and the competing application of at least three different legal systems, along with a very intricate and sensitive factual matrix. The firm’s team also secured a full award on costs.
- The firm’s litigation team secured the lifting of unlawful travel ban measures and an asset freeze issued against a high-profile individual and his family in the context of a complex cluster of litigations.
- The firm’s litigation team secured the setting aside of two criminal judgments involving long-term prison sentences rendered in absentia against an investor. The dismissal ended a long-standing related commercial dispute.
